A-12-years old primary school boy of Igbo extraction has allegedly committed suicide in Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area on Wednesday, June 16, 2021.
The bizarre incident took place at River Road, Ekpan near a popular Catholic Church.
The boy, who is the first child of his parent, was said have taken his life with a large piece of cloth in one of the ward robes in the rooms of the large apartment while his younger ones were in the sitting room.
Attempt to save his life after he was discovered by one of his younger ones was futile, as he was said to have given up the ghost before he was rushed to the nearby General Hospital, Ekpan.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the boy wrote his mock primary six examinations last Friday and that he was to write his primary six external examinations next Saturday.
Attempt to confirm the incident through a text message from the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Delta State Police Headquarters, Asaba ASP Edafe Bright, at as the time of filing this report proved abortive.
