Residents of the Konsisha Local Government Area in Benue State got the shock of their lives on Tuesday, after they found a fairly young man, Kula Adasu, hanging from a tree in their community.
Kula is said to have been married with two kids and through the suicide note he left, he carried out the act because his extended family members had been accusing of murdering another man in the community.
While speaking with newsmen, a close friend to Kula’s family stated, “The matter became dicey when the family held a meeting and insisted that they would consult a soothsayer today (Tuesday) to identify the person responsible for the young man’s death.
“Perhaps, out of fear of being exposed, the deceased might have decided to commit suicide.”
When contacted about the incident, the spokesperson for the Police in Benue State, DSP Catherine Anene, said, “Yes, we have received the report of suicide in Konsisha.”
