A man identified as Mr. Charles, a father of nine, tragically took his own life in the Jeddo community of Delta State in the early hours of Monday.
According to reports, Charles ingested an insecticide at his home and later passed away at his in-law’s residence in nearby Ugbokodo.
Sources revealed that the incident followed a heated argument between Charles and his wife, during which he pleaded with her not to leave him.
Despite his pleas, his wife reportedly refused. Charles, who was a member of the Jeddo Community Vigilante, left behind no suicide note, but empty bottles of insecticide were found in his pockets.
The Delta State Police Command has yet to comment on the incident, as efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, were unsuccessful.
