A young banker identified as Kelvin Rhima has committed suicide and his body was found dangling from a ceiling fan by neighbours on Tuesday night, May 19th, in his mini apartment in Lagos.
His neighbours who noticed he had not come outside since the previous night and the door to his house was locked from inside.
After they knocked tirelessly without any response, they peeped through his window and found his body hanging from the ceiling.
A neighbour, Barry Olarenwaju spoke to reporters saying,
“When we didn’t see him on Tuesday morning outside, we felt he was sleeping inside, but when it was getting late we got worried because there was no padlock at his entrance to indicate that he had gone out.
“We tried to open the door because it was locked from inside, that was when we began to bang on the door. By the time we went to the window he was seen dangling and his tongue stuck out. From the look of things, it was obvious that it was on Monday he died because the corpse had begun to bloat.”
Another neighbour who pleaded anonymity said:
“Immediately we discovered the corpse, we raised alarm. It was a battle before getting policemen to come to the scene to access the situation. We went to Area G on Tuesday night to inform them about the situation and they asked us to go to Pen Cinema division, which we did.”
Meanwhile, the deceased left a suicide note for his father and girlfriend which the police has since retrieved.
