Though none of the family members agreed to talk to the media, the Chairman of COEASU in the school, Comrade Fred Omonuwa, said that  he  died as a result of lack and inability to access medical  care. He  appealed to the state government to pay the workers their 13 months unpaid salary.

He said “It is clear the death came as a result of lack and inability to access medical facilities. Some months ago he became very sick and depended on friends for assistance but very recently he started complaining of getting tired of consistently begging to survive.

“Of course, everybody knows that the Edo State government owes us 13 months of salary which we have continued to agitate for even before the election but it was tagged “political agitation.” The man couldn’t provide for himself. His wife just had a baby. We were surprised yesterday (Friday) that he took his own life.

“Before he committed suicide he spoke to some colleagues on Wednesday complaining bitterly about his inability to access medical facility and becoming very ashamed of begging friends for money to treat himself.

“We are aware some friends in Lagos and Benin have done their best in the past few weeks by providing money for him and yesterday he took his life by hanging. We are very much aware that the suicide he committed was as a result of lack of money”.
