Frederick had doused his body with fuel and set
it on fire in the bush behind the filling station
on December 23, 2013, but his charred corpse
was not found until five days later, after a
desperate search by his wife and .
Frederick’s corpse was evacuated to the
mortuary of the General Hospital, Kubwa by
policemen from Gwarimpa Estate Police
Division.
The remains will be taken to Awgu, Enugu State
for burial this week.
His wife, Uchechukwu, who spoke at their
Gwarimpa village residence on Friday said that
the deceased was pushed into taking his life by
debts and economic hardship.
She explained that Frederick had taken a
N300,000 loan from a bank, which he wanted
to start a business, but he was duped by his
business partner and he became despondent,
resulting in the tragedy that befell the family.
Uchechukwu said, “ My husband was a very
caring man and a peacemaker; I never believed
he could kill himself because he was a gentle and
romantic person. I believed he must have taken
the decision to end his life because he owed a lot
of people, including a bank which gave him a
loan.
“He wanted to use the money to import goods
from India, but his partner duped him and since
then, he had not been himself and he also owed
other people.”
The widow who lamented that she had been
saddled with the responsibility of taking care of
the seven children her husband left behind, said
only support from kind-hearted Nigerians
could help her survive the responsibility fate
had placed on her doorstep.
The bereaved woman stated that she had to
borrow N120,000 to pay the General Hospital
Kubwa where her husband’s corpse was
embalmed.
According to her, Frederick’s mother, who died
in November,2013, has yet to be buried and the
family is working to raise money for her
funeral before Frederick committed suicide.
The National Coordinator, Women and Family
Advanced Initiative, Dr. Uche Obi, also urged
members of the public to come to the aid of the
Onigbo family.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Altienne
Daniel, said investigation had commenced into
the incident, adding that the police needed to go
beyond the general explanation that Frederick
committed suicide by probing the motive and
other factors surrounding the tragedy.
