Nerus Elemamba, a 30-year-old graduate of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede in Owerri, Imo State, allegedly committed suicide.

The young man’s body was discovered dangling in his chamber on Monday evening, in his birthplace of Umuohii, Obaoma village, Ezinihitte-Mbaise Local Government Area of the state.

According to sources, Elemamba participated in the village’s arduous labour with his friends before returning home and hanging himself.


According to the source, the deceased did not exhibit signs of melancholy before to committing suicide and was joyful while working with his age group.

“Elemamba actively participated in village activities and cracked jokes with his peers as usual.
