A middle-aged man, identified as Mr Ogheneovo, has committed suicide because his wife and children had deserted him.
According to Nigerian Tribune, the deceased reportedly injected a killer insecticide at his residence along Gesimisi Street, Okumagba Layout in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State.
He was said to have left no suicide note before he took his own life.
Some sources, however, conjectured that the deceased’s action might not be unconnected with his desertion by his wife and children sometime in January.
The sources said the late Ogheneovo’s wife had left him following his addiction to alcohol and constant battery.
One of the co-tenants said that “the wife, who could no longer condone the abuse, left with her three children, but left behind the eldest one.”
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Bright Edafe, said the incident has not been reported at the B Divisional Headquarters in Warri.
