Man hangs self in Ibadan two days after his wife’s death

A 40 year old man named Anthony Bankole killed himself today February 17th just two days after his wife died, according to a report by Premium Times.

Mr Bankole, whose wife was confirmed dead by doctors at the University Teaching Hospital, UCH, Ibadan, committed suicide at his uncompleted building site at Olodo area, Kumapayi, Ibadan, after leaving his rented apartment at Abayomi area of Iwo Road around 5.49 a.m.
A family source said the deceased told him he was going to use the ATM, when he was leaving in the morning, but later sent a text message to disclose his intention to commit suicide.
The source said Mr. Bankole gave no sign he wanted to take his life. "I even gave him money for his transport fare and told him not to stay out long. He lost his wife on Saturday and she is still in the mortuary; so I thought he needed money to pay or arrange for her burial,” he said.
Mrs. Bankole, who operated a business centre at the University College Hospital, UCH, died shortly after having a fight with her husband.

The source, who lives near the couple, narrated how her death occurred.
“We heard him (Mr. Bankole) shouting for help around 2 a.m. on Saturday. And with the help of another neighbour, she was rushed to the hospital; meanwhile she was already foaming from the mouth,” the source said.

Mr. Bankole’s corpse has been deposited at Adeoyo Hospital, Yemetu, Ibadan, mortuary.

eyah, d man really loves his wife buh killing himself wasnt d best way to show his love for her at all, may their soul RIP.

Stupid man, so he thinks by hanging himself the wife will come back, or he will see the wife in death, but a lesson to all, its always good to stay with someone who has lost a love one, because he might be so depressed at that time he will lose taste of life and might think of suicide or attempt suicide just like the case of this stupid man

I believe his reason for committing suicide is mainly as a result of guilt. Men who are women molesters, this is a lesson o! No be every woman get strength to survive fight, even if her mouth dey sharp like razor; there's no harm in walking away from trouble.

So sorry, but my idealogy bout people that commit suicide remains the same; STUPIDITY...Suicide solves nothing and i dont feel any sort of pity, the only people i pity are the loved ones they leave behind. How selfish?
