“His colleagues rushed to the football pitch, saw his corpse in his tricycle and also confirmed that he was attached to their park.

“It is surprising that he committed suicide. He never complained that he was going through any challenges. In fact, one of our brothers saw him around 5pm on that day and they had a brief chat; he never complained of anything and that is why we are surprised.”

‌“We have two children who have stopped schooling after he died; people who have been paying us condolence visits are the ones giving us money to feed. We want Nigerians to come to our aid.”
