One of the major stories that made it to the newspaper headlines is the toy of an Indian national, Devendra Singh, who allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself at his private office on Egbeyemi Street, in the Ilupeju area of Lagos State.
From an information gotten from a source by Punch,
“The driver called his colleagues around 7.30 pm saying he brought his boss to the office in the morning and that his boss was not out and that he had tried calling him and he did not pick up his calls. His colleagues then informed their company’s chief security officer.
“A few minutes later, the driver peeped through the window of the office and saw that his boss had hanged himself on the iron hook used in holding a ceiling fan. Some of his colleagues, who rushed down to the place, also confirmed seeing the Indian man’s lifeless body dangling from the rope.
“So, they reported back to their CSO, who advised them to report to the police. It was the police that came to the private office to forcefully open the door and met his corpse in that same position.
“He locked himself inside the office and when the police managed to open the place, they saw the side table he climbed to hang himself and afterwards, he pushed it. Singh didn’t write any suicide note.”
Singh’s corpse was recovered on Friday and his remains were deposited in the mortuary at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, Lagos, for an autopsy.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, had ordered an investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding Singh’s death.
“Investigation has begun to ascertain if it is truly suicide or murder/manslaughter packaged as suicide.” He added
