Jilted by lover: 21-yr-old student commits suicide
BY FIRSTCLASSNEWSLINE
FRIENDS and family members of a 21-year-old student of Maritime Academy
Oron, Effiong Otu are at a loss why he committed suicide by hanging
himself on a rope in his room on Thursday morning after he was jilted by his girl friend.
Ann, a family member told Vanguard that Effiong was found hanging in
his room at Diamond Hill, a few minutes after he collected a rope from
neighbours who became suspicious soon after he went inside his room
with the rope wondering what he wanted to use it for.
According
to the source, when his mother Grace Otu, a nurse at the University of
Calabar Teaching Hospital left the house at about 3pm on that fateful
day, the young man borrowed a rope and killed himself.
According Ann: “The 10th of July was the 10th anniversary of his
father’s death in a car accident and after the anniversary and everyone
had left the house including his mother, he went to a neighbour and
borrowed a rope which he took to his room and hung himself.”
Ann said: “The neighbours became suspicious of what he was doing in his
room with the rope and decided to rush there but found the door to the
room locked and before they could force the door open he had died.”
She said before he hung himself, he called one of his friends, Adu on
phone requesting him to tell his girl friend, Blessing who works with
the UNICEM that she should now be happy that he has killed himself for
her.
“Before his friend could rush to the house, the door had
already been forced open by neighbours and Effiong’s body was hanging
from the ceiling of the house”.
Ann stated that Effiong was an
only son of the family and was given the late father’s name as a source
of succor for the family but “he has again left us by this thoughtless
action”
Perhaps to give an inkling of his planned action ,
Effiong had posted his face book page on the 6th of July the following
message “It’s not about being engaged, married or in a relationship.
It’s about being happy, safe, secured, relieved and feeling good. It’s
about peaceful state of mind, it’s about sleeping at night without the
fear of losing what you’ve got.
It’s being yourself and not
someone else, it’s about feeling loved, happy, respected, understood,
cared for and appreciated.! Goodnight my beautiful people!!
Efforts to speak with Hogan Bassey, the Cross River State Police Public
Relations Officer did not yield any success as his phone was switched
off. Effiong’s body has been removed and de[posited at the mortuary of
the General Hospital, Calabar
