A resident of the area and close friend to the deceased family, Chimex Unah expressed sadness over the sudden death of the deceased whom he described as a jovial, gentle and hardworking person.
“I know Ezeugo very well, he is a jovial person. We have stayed together for sometime in Ishieke market. I came to the market today only to hear that he has committed suicide by hanging himself. I went to the scene and saw things for myself and he was still hanging on a tree when I got there. We were there until policemen came and brought down his
corpse.
