21 Year Old Student Hangs Self After Girlfriend Dumped Him In Cross River

Friends and family members of a 21-year-old student of Maritime Academy Oron, Effiong Otu are at a loss why he committed suicide by hanging himself on a rope in his room on Thursday morning after he was jilted by his girl friend.

Vanguard reports that Ann, Effiong's family member said Effiong was found hanging in his room at Diamond Hill, a few minutes after he collected a rope from neighbours who became suspicious soon after he went inside his room with the rope wondering what he wanted to use it for. His mother Grace Otu, a nurse at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital had just left the house at about 3pm on that fateful day.
Ann said:

The 10th of July was the 10th anniversary of his father’s death in a car accident and afterthe anniversary and everyone had left the house including his mother, he went to a neighbour and borrowed a rope which he took to his room and hung himself.  

The neighbours became suspicious of what he was doing in his room with the rope and decided to rush there but found the door to the room locked and before they could force the door open he had died.”
