Residents of Kagini, a community in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), were thrown into confusion on Friday after a young man, identified simply as IK, was alleged to have taken his own life inside his home.
The incident, which reportedly occurred in the early hours of the day, gained public attention after a video surfaced on the verified Facebook page of Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
In the video, friends and neighbours of the deceased expressed shock over the tragedy, questioning what might have driven IK to such an action.
While some mourners attributed it to personal struggles, others suspected foul play and demanded to see the stool allegedly used in the act.
As of press time, the FCT Police Command had yet to issue an official statement.
Efforts to reach the Command’s spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, were unsuccessful. However, a police source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that an investigation is ongoing to unravel the circumstances surrounding IK’s death.
