Man stabs himself to death because his girlfriend dumped him

Is it really worth it? How can one take his life
because of a lover? People are losing it these
days.
A 33-year-old graduate of Tai Solarin University
of Education, Oluwatosin Otaiku stabbed himself
to death on Saturday, in Onikolobo area of
Abeokuta Ogun state on Saturday after his
fiancee, one Oluwatoyin Olaogun after his
girlfriend dumped him.
Narrating on how the incident happened:
Friends and neighbors heard about his girlfriend
Oluwatoyin's decision to call off their
relationship, they invited her over at their
residence in Onikolobo area of Abeokuta to
resolve the issue.
An eyewitness said Tosin had hidden a knife in
his pocket during the mediation, which he
eventually used to stab himself when he
discovered that his fiancee was not ready to
change her mind, despite the intervention of
neighbours and friends.
“Tosin was immediately rushed to Mercy
Hospital at Panseke from where he was referred
to the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Idi-Aba,
Abeokuta, but he died on the way to the
hospital. It was a rude shock to me,”. “Come
rain, come shine, Tosin would never be cowed
by anybody and would never for any reason,
change his decision.
A day to his death, he had called me to explain
what was happening between him and the lady.
We spoke for about 11 minutes and I agreed to
visit the two of them the following day to settle
the discord between them, only to receive a
phone call that he had killed himself. I can’t still
believe it. Why would Tosin take such a terrible
decision? I can’t explain it,” he narrated.
“When we were in school at TASUED in Ijagun, a
similar thing happened. But for God’s mercy on
him, he would have died. He drank kerosene
when Ope, a student of Polytechnic, Ibadan,
whom he was dating then, broke up with him. If
not for God and some of us who rallied to save
him then, he would have died.
We were then living at Overcomers Hall,
Imaweje, very close to Ijagun. Everybody was
aware of that incident. You can check round to
confirm this,”
Late Tosin was a motherless child from
Odogbolu in Ogun state. He graduated from Tai
Solarin University with a degree in Political
Science back in 2010.
He worked as a managing director at a business
centre in Onikolobo area of Abeokuta until his
death.
