Family Drama: Why Father Of Four Committed Suicide In Abuja

A father of four, Sunday Ogul, who lived at Jiwa in the Abuja Municipal Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, committed suicide on June 27, Saturday.

The man reportedly drank a dangerous substance, suspected to be an insecticide. Ogul allegedly decided to take his own live after several failed attempts to bring back his wife, who left her matrimonial home together with their children.

Family sources, who pleaded for anonymity, revealed that the late Sunday Ogul, who hailed from Kogi state, spit with his wife about three months ago after a night quarrel during which he threw out her belongings.

The family source added that the man became more worried when he unsuccessfully tried to bring his wife back home. He had visited her in their village to negotiate how she would return with their children and even gave her the sum of N10,000 for transportation to Abuja.

“When he came back, he sent additional N5,000 to her through a bank, and lastly, N15,000, all in an effort to bring her back. But all his efforts were in vein, as she had informed him that her parents did not give their approval for her return,’’ the source said.

The deceased’s landlord said that Ogul once told him that he was worried about their children’s education, especially as they did not attend school since relocation. The landlord also revealed that the man’s lifeless body was first discovered by his friend.

“The friend, who called his name severally from outside without response, had to go inside, where he also called him without response. It was at this juncture that his friend discovered he was no longer breathing, and noticed an empty container of insecticide behind him,” he said.

Meanwhile, a senior police officer at the Gwagwa police station, confirmed the incident.
