He said: “Last night (Tuesday night), I went to a vigil organised by our church. I left her at home hale and hearty. But to my surprise, I got back home this morning and saw some of our neighbours gathered in front of our house.
“They broke the news to me and took me to where she hanged herself.”
Gbenga further described the incident as a mystery as he was at a loss as to what prompted his wife into taking her own life.
