An 80-Year-Old Man, Isiyaka Ayinde, has reportedly committed suicide at the Watch Tower in the Araromi Imota area of Lagos State.

PUNCH Online gathered that the incident occurred at about 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.

A Police Source told our correspondent that, according to a tenant in the compound, the deceased hung himself with a rope in the kitchen.

“He heard his children shouting that he should come and see Baba in the kitchen. When he ran into the kitchen, he saw the lifeless body of the tenant hanging on a rope that was tied to the burglary proof of one of the windows in the kitchen,” the police source said.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident to our correspondent.

He added that due to age and religious convictions, the deceased’s family insisted that the body be buried immediately.

He said, “The scene has been visited by the DCB personnel of the division, and photographs were taken.

“The family of the deceased is not interested in depositing the body at the mortuary but rather prefer burying the corpse immediately as a result of the age and religious inclination of the deceased.”

In January, PUNCH reported that a female marketing employee of a bank in Ikorodu, Lagos State, committed suicide.

The deceased, 32-year-old Amarachi Ugochukwu, was said to have drunk an insecticide.

You Will Not Kill Yourself Over One Issue ooo

Im for wait small na.
It's just a matter of some months and death will come naturally. What a way to end it after so many years of endurance.
May God forgive you and may you finally find peace wherever you are now.

The rate at which people commit SUCIDE Thisdays in Nigeria is alarming and on the increase. The question is, do Government has a role to play to curb the meness?

I left..!

It's a shame that we do not have social security in this country, at least for elderly citizens. What could have pushed an 80yr old to take such decision. We can't tell, but we can't say our social structure is without blame.

Poor thing

Nigeria is in the final stage of doing away with social values where you can depend on community for small food and even for companionship. Even in the villages, they are becoming individualistic since they now have electricity and phones.

Nigeria is absorbing all the spill overs of Industrialisation, Imperialism and Capitalism; impoverishing the masses and pushing them to the extreme end, crimogenic environments, phone addiction, drug abuse, environmental waste and more diseases etc

I dare say Nigeria practices the harshest form of Capitalism/Industrialisation because our elites don't even provide a sort of insurance or warning after or before accidents happen. Dangote truck fit crush anybody alafia! Social media fit turn your kid to a socially awkward child, alafia! No price control on food etc. Whereas foreign countries spend billions to soft cushion the effects of Capitalism.

We the poor masses and professionals of Nigeria need to organise ourselves and finally decide what we want our country to be like. What values we'd like to keep from our history and what we'd like to adopt from overseas. Join MOP on social media, let's take back our nation!

With the bad eceonomy, every old person starting from 65 years should be given free medical care and food.

If its to make laws to gag youths, you will see them rush it in days, but to enact laws that will impact lives and transform society is what they can never know what to do. Goats

RIP

Inside the same Lagos wey Tunibu built

Nawa oOoOOh

Nigeria has 220 million people that she cannot effectively manage. The challenges we face today are probably a guise to determine the productive populace who can overcome the economic obstacles.

If you commit suicide, everyone moves on and you won't be noticed because others are also trying to survive. In the end, the strongest amongst us will withstand today's economic crisis.

Tilumbu see what you have caused
how can an ancestor be dying?
Ewooorrrrrr

RIP.


In this life ehhh, struggle to marry a young virgin woman and enjoy life at peace.
Fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, find a young virgin woman and marry if you want to enjoy your old age.

If you marry a woman who has been fvcked and mounted by many men, you will commit suicide at early age because your children will fight you, they will beat you and they will frustrate you since they belonged to another man.


Avoid my advice and 9jacover will cover your story.

Chai
This is too bad
He should have waited to die naturally na
Tears in my eyes

Na wow o!

Oldie should have exercised more patience, he is already at the Finish line. RIP old one.

Depression is a common thing in the elderly...even when they are economically buyoant.

How can someone live up to 80 and then commit suicide.

Something aint adding up

Yes o, like the many occasions in the East. May their souls be reposed by God

Due tym

Suicide at 80yrs this not normal

Hope he wasn't murdered?

Baba for calm down small na. At 80 wetin remain again, him for chill jeje.

I am still of the opinion that the matter needs to be investigated thoroughly.

An 80 year old man has seen a lot in life and should be preparing to meet his maker. I don't think its normal

Do we even have government in the first place, when those who have destroyed Nigeria want to rebuilt ..

This is so sad

Suicide @80

80-year-old man committing suicide sounds crazy and pitiable.
