A 20- year- old commercial motorcyclist popularly known as Okada, Onuigbo Nwode, hanged himself yesterday in Awka for losing his motorcycle to armed bandits.
Sources said the deceased relocated to Akwa to engage in Okada business about three years ago from Ezza in Ebonyi State.
The motorcycle, it was learnt, was stolen in Awka town along Zik Avenue around 1am yesterday.
He reportedly hanged himself around 2.30am.
The State Police Command through its Public Relations Officer, Emeka Chukwuemeka, confirmed the incident. He refused to speak further on the incident. It was gathered that the victim’s body had been removed from Ichida road in Umudioka where the incident happened by the police and deposited in mortuary.
A source who claimed to be a relation to the deceased said Nwode came to their house weeping and looking dejected after finding out his motorcycle had been stolen.
The 22-year-old said, “We were three from Ebonyi in that room and when we saw how he was feeling, we started consoling him and at a time all of us fell asleep, we never knew he had other plans.
“When I eventually woke up to go and ease myself, I found out that Nwode was not around and I went outside with the other brothers to urinate. That was when I saw something dangling which I drew their attention to.
“When we flashed a touch- light towards it, we found it was Nwode’s body. That was how we raised alarm and neigbours started trooping out.’
