Sources hinted that the suicide theory was further corroborated with the Facebook posting by deceased ‘lover man’, Emmanuel on Wednesday, expressing his frustrations over certain issues he was said to be passing through.

One of the neighbours who pleaded anonymity disclosed that, at about 5 a.m. they heard Emmanuel shouting for help and that on breaking the door, they found him vomiting white foam while his lover lifeless body laid a few distance from him.

He hinted that the deceased were rushed to Central Hospital, Warri where they were both confirmed dead and bodies deposited in the morgue.
