30-year-old Nekede Polytechnic Graduate Commits Su!cide

Nerus Elemamba, a 30-year-old Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo State, graduate, took his own life.

On Monday night, his body was discovered hanging in his room in his village, Umuohii, Obaoma community, Ezinihitte-Mbaise Local Government Area of the state.

It was said that he committed suicide right away after helping his peers with physical labor in the community.

Before taking his own life, the deceased did not exhibit any symptoms of despair, according to a villager who spoke with reporters.

“Elemamba actively participated in village activities and cracked jokes with his peers as usual,” the source added.

“No one knows for sure what prompted him to take his own life because he participated in the village manual labour in the morning.

“It is quite surprising that Nerus, who was hale and hearty, could hang himself just few hours after work,” the source said.

He added that the tragedy had left the village in disarray and terror, and that before his funeral, the reason of his death needed to be determined.

Imo police spokesperson Henry Okoye said he had not yet received a briefing on the development when called. [CONTINUE READING HERE]
