A 25-year-old man, Kehinde Muse,  has  allegedly committed suicide for being jilted by his girlfriend in Surulere area of Lagos.

Muse was said to have locked himself in his room and  allegedly drank a  poisonous substance, Sniper.

Lagos State police public relations officer, DSP Bala Elkana, said  Muse was rushed to the hospital, but he  died on arrival.

Elkana said: “Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased had earlier sent a suicide text message to his ex- girlfriend, Rasheedat, 21, informing her that he would take his life as she had decided to quit the relationship. The said girlfriend promptly informed his family about the text message Muse  sent to her. Muse’s family members rushed to his house, broke the door and found him unconscious. He was rushed to the  hospital, but  he died before they arrived the hospital. His body has been deposited in the mortuary.”
