A church leader and an award winning pharmacist, Paul
Olafare whose picture is shown above, allegedly committed suicide two days ago, ie April 12th
at his home in Lagos. He's married. He was found dead by his wife. Multiple sources says that Paul, a father of two, had been under a lot of
pressure following a huge unpaid loan he collected from some
people to set up his own pharmacy. His dream of setting up his own
pharmacy failed leading to huge financial indebtedness when consequently
led to chronic depression.
Paul was
awarded the Lagos State Pharmacist of the Year 2013 and was reported to have been an active member
of his church where he mentored the youth group.
According to a friend close to the situation, Paul had allegedly hinted
to his wife that he would take his life if things didn't change for him.
He also recently attempted
to jump into the lagoon but was stopped by his wife.His wife said she sound him writhing in pain yesterday morning as she was prepared for church and found that he'd drank poison. He later died.
Though he'd been allegedly battling with depression for a while, his family didn't believe he'd committed suicide and lodged a murder charge against the man's wife who is now being questioned by the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti.
He was a graduate of Medicine from the College of Medicine University of Lagos.
