His elder brother, Sunday Okpaga, an indigene of Ebonyi State, but resides at Oye in Achalla, Awka North LGA reported the incident at Achalla police division.
The older Okpaga denied any knowledge of reasons for his brother’s action, just as the victim was said to have undertaken the action without dropping a suicide note.
