The sister of the young man who committed suicide in his friend’s house has said that her brother cannot do much to himself.
The deceased identified as Cyril James Abba from Igede, Benue State is said to have drunk a poisonous substance when he went to pay his friend a visit.
This led to the arrest of his friend which was brought to public attention on Facebook.
The sister of the deceased, Margret Abba, stated that her brother suffered from mental illness and was recovering at the time he died.
She, however, stated that taking his own life is not something he can do despite his state.
“First of all, my brother was passing through a lot but the last thing he’ll ever do is take his own life.
“This person doesn’t know a thing about what happened and has already started concluding. I won’t allow my brother to be disrespected this way, all in the name of getting his friend released.
“We were actually going to perform an autopsy but couldn’t afford it, so my mom left everything to God.
“The guy they arrested told the police different kinds of story and refuse to say the truth. There’s no proof that he did it, so he’ll be released soon. People should be nice and may his soul Rest In Peace,” she said.
“Margret also added that, “We were told people thought he was epileptic and they left him thinking he’ll recover, not knowing that he was dying.”
