34-yr-old Driver Hangs Self Over Missing Phone, He Confessed to Stealing My Phone –Neighbour, No, He Was Not a Thief –Friend. People who knew Akin, a cab driver, could not believe he could commit suicide. But that was what he did. He hanged himself barely 24 hours after being confirmed a thief by a herbalist. What on earth would have made Akin commit suicide?” “Did he kill himself because of the phone he was accused of stealing?” “Was he tired of life?” “Would the juju of the herbalist he consulted drive him into this action?” “Did he hang himself out of shame?” These are some of the questions begging for answers on the lips of Sauka, Abuja residents as they discussed in low tones the suicide of Akin a 34-year-old man yesterday. Akin until his death, had been living in the village for over five years and was not known to have any medical problem, according to sympathisers and his neighbours.

He lived alone in a self-contained building attached to several others in which his neighbours live. He was said to have worked last on Wednesday with the car given to him for his cab business by one of his friends, Sanmi. One of the youths who use the vicinity where Akin hanged himself as Indian hemp smoking den had come early in the morning to smoke when he saw a body dangling from a tree. It was Akin’s. And, seeing the lifeless body of his friend, he ran to the village to inform the community. This sparked off wailing among the people who were preparing for the day’s business.

Before Akin’s suicide, however, something happened between him and one of his neighbours, Mrs Loveth Chidoke. Akin and Chidoke lived adjacent to each other within the same compound for two years. Chidoke was allegedly notified by a fellow woman neighbour that Akin was in possession of her missing phone. Chidoke took up the story: “Last week, I took my basin to the river. My neighbour, a woman, was at home. I left my phone in my room. See Details:naija-gossips.blogspot/2014/02/34-yr-old-driver-hangs-self-over.html?m=1
