Man Commits Suicide Over Wife’s Extra-Marital Affairs

MICHAEL AKINOLA

A man, Abiodun Tijani, has committed suicide in Lagos after he reportedly discovered that his lovely wife of over 12 years was cheating on him; he could not stand it and decided to terminate his life.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the body of the middle aged furniture maker, Abiodun Tijani, was found dangling from the ceiling of his one room apartment at No. 1, Abeokuta Street, Alagbado area of Lagos penultimate Tuesday.

The marriage was said to have lasted for 12 years before the late Abiodun discovered that his wife was cheating on him.
Sources said Tijani decided to end it all when he suspected that his wife was indulging in extra-marital affairs. The deceased was previously residing in Abeokuta, Ogun State, until he relocated recently to Lagos in order to join his wife, who had been living in the house for nine years.
Residents described him as an easy going man, who ran his furniture workshop around the AIT Road in the area.
A source said: ‘’His wife moved into this building about nine years ago and she is a quiet woman.
“The man (Tijani) used to live in Abeokuta, Ogun State, until he joined his wife here about a year ago. The couple is blessed with a 12-year-old boy called Wasiu.”
“Although the man was unassuming, he was said to have had issues with his wife, who sells soft drinks and grocery at the old toll gate in Ota.”

Wasiu, the only child of the deceased, recalled how his father tricked him out of the house on the fateful day before taking his life.
He said: “He went out the day before the incident and returned home the following morning. By then, my mother had gone out. He gave me money to go to a barber’s shop for a haircut. By the time I returned home, I met him dangling from the ceiling. He didn’t share his problems with me and I wouldn’t know what could have led him to commit suicide. He lost his father several years ago but his aged mother is still alive. He hailed from Ago Ika, Abeokuta’’.
The incident was reported to the Alagbado Police Station while men of the station assisted in evacuating Tijani’s body from the scene.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the Police have since commenced investigation into the matter but it was not yet confirmed if the wife has been arrested for interrogation over the dastardly incident.
