A father of nine identified simply as Charles, has committed su!cide over an alleged marital dispute in the Jeddo community in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, Charles allegedly ended his life by ingesting a poisonous substance suspected to be sniper at about 3:30 p.m. on Monday, October 7, 2024.
Charles, a resident of the Jeddo community, drank the lethal substance at his home before proceeding to Ugbokodo, his in-laws’ residence, where he passed away shortly after.
Sources said the deceased was a member of the Jeddo Community Vigilance group, tasked with maintaining security in the area.

The spokesperson of the State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, said he has not been officially informed of the case.
