Landlord commits suicide in Enugu

The body of a man, who was said to be a landlord, has been found hanging in his room at New Haven, Enugu. The police identified him as Chinedu Eziobu of 67 Chime Avenue, New Haven, Enugu. A police bulletin by the spokesman of the command, Ebere Amaraizu, said one of the deceased’s tenants, Joseph Bassey, had complained that his landlord had not been seen since Saturday.

The police broke open Eziobu’s door and found him hanging from the ceiling. The police said they found a suicide note in the room. It reads: “Ben, my brother, gave black plastic bag for Mr. Nwafor and the black plastic bag with its contents is to be handed over to his brother, Benjamin Eziobu.”

Amaraizu said the police have begun investigation into the death, adding that the body has been deposited at the Eastern Medical Centre mortuary for autopsy.
