An unidentified middle-aged man was, in the early hours of Wednesday, found hanging from a tree in an apparent suicide, on 1st Avenue, Festac, Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos, opposite a popular hotel, where commercial sex workers hang out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remains of the victim, who had become bloated with liquid substance dripping from it, was still hanging from a rope tied to a mango tree on Thursday morning till about 10am, when it was later evacuated by the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Vanguard visited the scene of the suspected suicide, people were in groups chatting and wondering what could have pushed the man to hang himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A POS operator in the area said the body had been hanging there since Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe local government officials and the police didn\u2019t consider the well being of residents in the area. That is why they abandoned the corpse for two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cWhen I came to my stand yesterday, I met many people at the scene with the man dangling from the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut no one could confirm the actual time of death and nobody could remove the noose from the man\u2019s neck for fear of the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I came today he was still hanging from the tree and his body had become swollen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the police recovered the corpse and took it to a mortuary, some residents were seen removing some logs of dried woods underneath the mango tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contacted, the spokesperson of Lagos State Police Command, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said he would get back with a reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
