A 29-year-old man identified as Temi Faruok has committed suicide after he claimed his wife, Amina poisoned his food in order to keep her alleged lover who happens to be their landlord.

The incident happened at Iya Meta Street in Orisumbare, Shasha area of Lagos.

According to P.M. Express, the late Faruok had complained that his wife poisoned his food which affected his health that had deteriorated all because she wanted to continue with her secret romance with their landlord, an allegation Amina denied.

According to the report, the deceased and the wife had only one child and they have been having constant quarrel.

It was gathered that the matter had been going on for some time to the extent that the Baale of Orisumbare Community had to wade in to broker peace but all to no avail until he was found dead.

The residents, including the Landlord’s wife, who refused to disclose her name, confirmed the incident to the newspaper.

The neighbours said the deceased was overheard complaining that it was better for him to die at once than the slow pain he was experiencing from the strange disease that might eventually take his life.
