A senior official of the Delta State Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Ike Nwaosa has allegedly committed suicide in Asaba, the state capital.
The incident was said to have happened on Sunday at his residence on Nwalie-Efedua Street, off Infant Jesus Road, Asaba.

The late Nwaosa was a Chief Technical Officer in the Department of Agric Services, Agric
Engineering Division, Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Asaba. Nwaosa, said to be about 56 years old, was also said to be a level 14 officer before he took his life. He would have retired from service in four years time.
A family source said the deceased committed the act at about 1.30pm after he had returned from church service on the fateful Sunday.
The source said the wife of the deceased had stayed behind after the service in one of the
Pentecostal churches to attend a meeting of the women’s wing, only to come back to meet the dead body of her husband without leaving any message.
Contacted, Delta State Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Charles Muka said he was yet to be briefed about the tragic incident.
