The Enugu State Police Command has commenced investigation into alleged suicide by a University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) student.
In a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer Ebere Amarizu, the command said that the deceased, identified as Tobechukwu Okeke was a final year student of agriculture economics and a native of Awgu in Enugu State.
It said that Okeke was seen in his room lifeless on November 27 with a blue rope on his neck hanging from a ceiling fan’s hook.
The command said that a note written by the deceased to his friends and relations was found at the scene of the alleged suicide.
“Some of the excerpts from the note read as follows: ‘I got it all wrong when I rejected Jesus. God gave me wisdom; God gave me all I needed to succeed. I rejected Him. My fellow gamblers, I am sorry; my fellow lions, I am sorry; my family, I let you all down’,” it said.
The command noted that the body of the late student had been deposited at the Bishop Shanahan Hospital Mortuary, Nsukka.
Okeke is believed to have participated in the controversial Ponzi scheme, Mavrodi Mondial Movement (MMM).
His penultimate post in September reads: “MMM is enriching lives of millions of Nigerians everyday. If you care to join or you have any questions please send me a message or comment below.”
