Man commits suicde because no female wanted to marry him

The lifeless body of a 40 year old man simply
known as Femi was discovered by the residents
of Alhaji Aboki Street in Abaranje area of Ikotun
in an uncompleted building.
According to residents in the area, Femi was
evicted from his one room home barely two
months ago but that this was not the first time
Femi who was also known as Fela had tried to
kill himself.
He said Femi had attempted suiced twice before
but failed. They said apart from the eviction,
Femi was also frustrated that he was not yet
married at 40 and didn't have his own home
anymore.
A resident, who gave his name as Okeseun
Olatunde, said:
“Femi was evicted by his landlord in
February, after he was discharged from
hospital, following a failed suicide
attempt.
“On one of the occasions he jumped into
a well but was rescued.
After the second failed suicide attempt,
his landlord asked him to bring his
relatives, but none showed up. He had
said severally that he was related to late
Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
“We also learned he owed the landlord
house rent. The landlord had no choice
than to evict him, with his property kept
outside. He (Femi) took the property to
the uncompleted building where he
stayed until he was discovered dead last
Friday. We suspect he committed
suicide.”
Another resident, Josiah Madu, said Femi
worked as a bricklayer and that he had
complained severally times that business was
not forth-coming and that he desperately wanted
to get married. Madu said:
“He told some of us in March last year
that every woman he approached for
marriage complained about his financial
status. At a point, he started keeping to
himself.”
