In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a man identified as Mr. Osahon, who had been residing in the United States for the past nine years, has reportedly taken his own life after discovering that his family had squandered the money he had been sending them for years to build and buy properties in Benin City, Edo State.
According to sources close to the family, Mr. Osahon had been diligently working and saving while abroad, with the hope of returning to a comfortable life in his hometown.
Over the years, he sent substantial sums of money to his relatives, trusting them to invest in real estate and other properties on his behalf. However, upon his recent return to Nigeria, he was devastated to learn that no such investments had been made.
Distraught and feeling betrayed, Mr. Osahon reportedly confronted his family members, only to be met with vague explanations and excuses.
The weight of the betrayal proved too much for him to bear, leading him to take a drastic step that ultimately resulted in his tragic death earlier today.
Local authorities in Edo State have expressed their condolences to the grieving family and have launched an investigation into the incident. Neighbors and community members have been left in shock by the tragedy, with many expressing disbelief that such an incident could occur within a family.
Speaking on the incident, a close friend of Mr. Osahon who preferred to remain anonymous, said, “He was a good man, always thinking about his family’s future. It’s hard to believe that they could do this to him. He trusted them with everything, and they let him down in the worst possible way.”
The Edo State Police Command has urged the public to remain calm as they work to uncover more details surrounding the circumstances of Mr. Osahon’s death. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
