Nerus Elemamba, a 30-year-old Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo State, graduate, took his own life.
On Monday night, in his hamlet, in Umuohii, Obaoma community, Ezinihitte-Mbaise Local Government Area of the state, his body was discovered hanging in his room.
After helping his peers with manual labor in the village, he committed suicide right away.
Before taking his own life, the dead did not exhibit any symptoms of depression, according to a villager who spoke with journalists.
“Elemamba actively participated in village activities and cracked jokes with his peers as usual,” the source added.

“No one knows for sure what prompted him to take his own life because he participated in the village manual labour in the morning.
“It is quite surprising that Nerus, who was hale and hearty, could hang himself just few hours after work,” the source said.
He added that the reason of his death needs to be determined before his funeral, saying that the occurrence has left the hamlet in a state of confusion and terror.
Imo police spokesperson Henry Okoye claimed he had not yet received a briefing on the development when called.
