A man identified as Reginald from Lawa in Ogbaku, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State was reported to have committed suicide on Sunday, allegedly over suspicions of his wife’s infidelity.
According to residents, the community woke up to the shocking sight of Reginald’s lifeless body hanging from a tree within the premises of Ukachukwu—reportedly the man alleged to be involved with his wife.
Leadership reported that the incident has triggered widespread outrage and condemnation across the community.
Sources within the village claimed that Reginald had repeatedly expressed distress over the alleged affair between his wife and Ukachukwu. However, his concerns were said to have been dismissed by his wife.
One resident, who requested anonymity, told reporters that Reginald’s complaints had been a subject of concern for some time. The villager recounted how no one anticipated such a tragic outcome. He noted that the community was in shock, as it had never experienced anything of this nature before.
Attempts to obtain an official response from the Imo State Police Command were unsuccessful, as the phone line of the command’s spokesperson, DSP Henry Okoye, was reportedly switched off at the time of inquiry.
