A 41-year old manager of SEAP Micro-Finance Bank Saki, Sola Ogungbe, has reportedly committed suicide over N1 million loan.
It was gathered that the deceased took a poisonous substance at his Iseyin residence, after some customers he offered loan facilities defaulted.
A bank staff, who spoke with newsmen on condition of anonymity, said: “The bank officials called Ogungbe’s wife on Wednesday afternoon about the loan because the man had not been reporting to work for some days. On getting home to report the call to her husband, the wife met his corpse.”
Blaming the deceased taking his life instead of discussing the issue with his friends, he said: “The issue of suicide is becoming alarming, Sola made a great mistake by taking his own life because of debt, if he had shared this issue with his friends, maybe somebody would have come to his aid.
”Everyone is going through one thing or the other but our survival is anchored upon a communal living and friendship, tell people about your issues, you don’t even know who can help you.”
The body of the deceased was said to have been taken to his hometown in Omu-Aran, Kwara State for burial.
