Zenith Bank staffer commits suicide after Facebook post

A Zenith Bank staffer identified as Nwokorie Nnamdi Godson reportedly committed suicide in Sapele, Delta State on Sunday, after a Facebook post.

Sources said his remains was found dangling from the scaffold of a water tank where he allegedly hanged himself at the Ugbeyiyi area of the town.

Though he didn’t leave a suicide note, his last Facebook post on the date he died not only sounds like a suicide note but also gives a clue as to the reason he took his own life.

The post read; “I no longer have a mind of my own. Because I now do things I later regret. The struggle is not funny any more. I am still good at heart so you know.”

Though when Nwokorie made that post, none of his friends knew what he was up to or offered to offer any help.

Some reacted to the ‘struggle” as an IPOB member.
However, if the post of the deceased is anything to go by, it points to the fact that he was battling with some mental health issues and needed help.

“I no longer have a mind of my own,” he said, adding that he did things he later regretted.

Still, since the news of his death broke, many Nigerians have been reacting to it. Commenting on his last post on Facebook, many wondered why he took that route, saying he didn’t take the right decision.

Georgetown Emeka Ochiagha reacting to his death said: When he posted this there was no comment but now that he committed suicide everyone is here to shed crocodile tears.

Jennykeria Chinwe Akuwudike responded thus: Georgetown Emeka Ochiagha guy, people didn’t understand that post, I for one thought it was a quote or any other caption people give to pictures. So you that understood it, why didn’t you alert other people about it. You people should stop the habits o…

It is also instructive to know that some of the comments his friends posted revealed that he was bright student as an undergraduate at the University of Benin and had plans to get married this year.
