Man Attempts Suicide Over Heartbreak In Delta

A DELSU Economics graduate, Emeka Odigwu, 37, reportedly attempted suicide after the girl he had been dating for three years announced in the midst of friends while at a popular fast food in Warri that their wedding, which was only one week away, could no longer hold.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the state, DSP Celestina Kalu, said that he was rescued at a T-Junction in Warri by Police Patrol team on routine duty, adding that he was found lying on the ground almost lifeless and gasping for breath around 10:30pm on Saturday night.

He disclosed that policemen recovered a letter he wrote, “I fell heartbroken and rejected by someone, whom I loved and had given my heart to over the years in the midst of a get together with my friends, I’d rather die and return to my mother’s earth.”

According to the victim’s younger sister Evelyn Odigwe, her brother had been dating that girl for more than three years and just proposed to her recently in the presence of their entire family, before she called their wedding off.

Unconfirmed sources said that the girl (name withheld) allegedly dumped the victim when her childhood friend who traveled abroad six years ago returned with great promise and asked her hand in marriage.
