.. the room only to see his wife dangling
from the ceiling. He said recent behaviour of his wife indicated that she was
depressed, but it did not occur to him that she would take her own life. He said, “I usually sleep in the parlour with two of our children and
it was not different that day. My wife slept in the bedroom with our
eldest daughter and the baby.“Around 2am, my daughter started shouting from the bedroom. I rushed inside, thinking that she was having a nightmare, but I was shocked to see the lifeless body of my wife dangling from the ceiling. She had hung herself. “She had been exhibiting some strange behaviour recently. One time she would be moody; the next, she will just be looking at one direction. When you call her she would not respond. “I tried to know if she had any problem bothering her, but she said she was okay. There was a time she told my eldest daughter to take care of the children that she would be going away. I thought she was abandoning the marriage. I pleaded and she promised to stay. She equally complained of some health problems. I asked her to go for test which she did.”
The Divisional Police Officer in-charge of Esan West, Mr. Akpoko Omuohowo, who confirmed the incident, said the police were still investigating. What really transpired? What was she really thinking about? Is that the best way to have solve her problems? These are the questions in people mind.
