“Knowing that he is always at home since he lost his job as a truck driver because the truck was faulty, she kept knocking but there was response.
“She then went to the window to see if she could gaze from the back and that was how she saw him hanging in his room.
“It is a sad experience. Nobody would have thought such a thing would have been planned by him.
“The police have just taken his corpse away. If you had come earlier, you would have seen it. He was a young man full of life,” the relation said.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Bayelsa State Police Command, SP. Asinim Butswat, confirmed the incident.
