The native doctor, according to findings, resides at Ukpakiri village in Amaise autonomous community in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State.

The deceased, in his late thirties, was said to have hanged himself while his pregnant wife and son were sleeping inside their house.

“When we asked the wife, she said that the husband told her that he was going to pass the night at Ntighauzor. After that, she went inside the house while the husband told her that he wants to leave his machine behind the house.

“According to her, she came out in the morning, only to see the corpse of the husband dangling on a tree behind their house.”

The wife, who was full of emotion, said that she can’t remember her husband having any misunderstanding with anyone.

She said that she only came out in the morning to see that her husband had committed suicide.

According to the wife, the deceased has been suffering from one illness to the other and has performed all the necessary rituals that he was asked to carry out because of his sicknesses.
