Paul Olafare, an
award winning pharmacist, father of two, allegedly committed suicide yesterday
April 12th at his home in Lagos. He was found dead by his wife. According to
multiple sources, Paul, 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. This allegedly
led to chronic depression.
Paul was awarded
the Lagos State Pharmacist of the Year 2013 and was reported to have been an
active member 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 found 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.
