Man hangs self, blames Buhari in suicide note

A 50-year-old man, Chief Ekanem Edet, has taken his life at Mbiabong Itam in Itu Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State and left a suicide note blaming President Muhammadu Buhari. 

Residents of Mbiabong Itam were shocked to discover the body of the former secretary of the Mbiabong Village Council dangling on the suspended rope from the roof of his house.
Edet, popularly called Jolly Boy, blamed his decision to commit suicide on the prevailing hardship which had taken a toll on his life since the nation’s leaders on May 29, 2015. A few days before his death, the father of two was complaining of the current economic crunch which had impacted on the living standard of the masses.
Edet, who was selling Ogogoro (local gin), cigarettes and other stimulants, according to family source, decided to take his life when it appeared he could no longer run his small family with the meagre earnings from his business.https://newtelegraphonline.com/man-hangs-self-blames-buhari-suicide-note/
