Young Nigerian Banker Commit Suicide, Leaves Note For Family And Girlfriend

The body of a young man who has been identified as Kelvin Rhima was found dangling from a ceiling fan by neighbours on Tuesday night, May 19th, in his mini apartment in Lagos.

The diseased banker's body was discovered by his neighbours who noticed he had not come outside since the previous night and the door to his house was locked from inside. 

After knocking non stop at his door without any response, they peeped through his window and found him hanging from the ceiling.

According to a neighbour, Barry Olarenwaju, who spoke with Vanguard 

“When we didn’t see him on Tuesday morning outside, we felt he was sleeping inside, but when it was getting late we got worried because there was no padlock at his entrance to indicate that he had gone out.

"We tried to open the door, because it was locked from inside, that was when we began to bang on the door. By the time we went to the window he was seen dangling and his tongue stuck out. From the look of things, it was obvious that it was on Monday he died because the corpse had begun to bloat.”

Another tenant in the building, who did not want to be known, said "immediately we discovered the corpse, we raised alarm. It was a battle before getting policemen to come to the scene to access the situation. We went to Area G on Tuesday night to inform them about the situation and they asked us to go to Pen Cinema division, which we did."

“Ironically, when the police came, they wanted to detain all the tenants we had to pay N2,000 each so that we won’t be implicated in a matter we don’t know anything about. After which they still abandoned the corpse with the excuse that the mortuary was filled up. They only took pictures.”

The diseased also left a suicide note for his father and girlfriend which was retrieved by the police.
