| Alhaji Yahaya Bello. Gov., Kogi State. |
The
Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, had in the past recent time, been
maligned and castigated, by even myself when a few citizens of the state
decided to take their own lives by committing suicide, especially some of them
who work for the government and used the guise of not being paid salaries,
according to stories sold to us, kill themselves for no just cause.
A
new twist has now been added with the death of a 12-year old boy who committed
suicide in Kogi in protest against being reprimanded by an older sister.
We are
told that the boy, who neither works for Governor Yahaya Bello, nor for the
Kogi State Government, and identified as Bobo, committed suicide by drinking
sniper, an insecticide on Sunday, as residents of Aniebo Quarters in Gadumo
area of Lokoja where the family resides were thrown into mourning following the
news of the suicide.
It
was gathered that the boys elder sister had punished him for some misdemeanour
shortly after they returned from church, which the deceased bluntly refused to
serve and the father had to intervene by asking him to do frog jump instead, which
he did actually, but decided to retire into the room after serving his punishment,
from where he took the poison, unknown to the parents.
The incident
the parents got to know much later by which time the poison had begun to take
effect and all effort made to remedy the situation were to no avail.
Spokesman
of the Kogi State Police Command, Williams Aya, said he was yet to get any
report of the incident.
