”We last saw him on Monday when he was leaving the house, nobody knew when he came back to the house. We never knew he had hanged himself in his room. It was only this morning when we were beginning to inhale some foul odour and people has been coming to ask of him that we suspected foul play. He is a very reserved person and hardly talk to anybody. You hardly find him with anybody, male or female” a neighbor said

“He came on Monday and we told him to try and pay what he is owing and he left, later we went to look for him but we could not find him, only for us to hear he has hanged himself ” one of his colleagues who craved anonymity said
