News Rangers4 months ago03 mins

LAGOS APRIL 19TH (NEWSRANGERS)-A young man in his early 30s in Uyo, identified as Utibe Eteffia committed suicide by taking lethal poison after falling victim to cyber criminals popular known as Yahoo Boys, who cleared out his account to the tune of N2.5 million.

Prior to his death, the deceased who ran a POS business had been sharing hints of attempting suicide. He was said to have posted an obituary on social media with the picture of a lit candle and asked “Do you believe in reincarnation?

He also asked his followers to be their brothers’ keeper by showing love and helping those in need.

According to neighbours, the deceased had become reclusive a few days to his death and had began a countdown on social media.

“Sometimes, he would remain in his house crying. Some nights he would make calls to people till even 4:00 am. About one week to committing the suicide, he came to my house, asking me if I have rat poison. When I probed further, he explained that he wanted to use it to clear some rodents in his house.

I was also told he went to a chemist shop in the neighbourhood to check the poisonous substance and succeeded in buying one before travelling to his village to take his life,”he neighbors said

The deceased, from Ini local government area, having lost both parents at a very young age, was raised by his aunt, who saw him through secondary school. He later got financial assistance from family and friends to run the PoS business.
