Tragedy hit Umunkita village in Nenu Autonomous Community, Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State recently when the village head, Samuel Omeonu Erengwa, committed suicide as he was found hanging on a tree.The 70-year-old Erengwa was said to have over time been planning the traditional marriage of one of his daughters scheduled to hold today. Speaking to journalists, a close family member said, “I am shocked over the incident; I left the deceased’s house late on Tuesday night after extensive discussions over the daughter’s traditional marriage scheduled for this Sunday, only to see him hang on the tree this (Wednesday) morning.”
On what could have led to Erengwa’s decision to commit suicide, a villager said, “There were two versions of the story as to why the old man committed suicide. The first was that he was alleged to have embezzled money meant for the community’s electricity project, while the other version has it that the late village head was served letter alleging that one of his sons made away with some money belonging to some individuals in the community.”
