Uber driver hangs self on ceiling fan in Lagos

An Uber driver on Thursday afternoon committed suicide after his wife left home for an appointment.

The unidentified man lived at 51 Oduntan Street Ketu in Ikosi-Isheri Local Government Area.

A neighbour of the victim simply identified as Victoria said the deceased didn’t leave a suicide note.

The wife was said to have discovered his body dangling from the ceiling fan and raised the alarm upon her return home.

The neighbour also said that the victim and his wife hardly interacted with neighbours since they moved into the house in March 2021.

His name or other vital information was not known to many of them in the compound, the neighbour said.

Residents of the area were preparing to evacuate the body as at the time of filing this report.
