A devastating incident has shaken the community of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, as 16-year-old Ayibanua Timipre was found dead, hanging from a ceiling fan in his father’s residence in Kpansia. The young boy, a native of Igbomotoru Community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, was discovered with the rope still attached to the fan after his body was retrieved.
While the motivations behind Timipre’s tragic decision remain unclear, speculation is rife among locals. Some believe that the alleged theft of ₦27,000 from his family’s home, and subsequent punishment from his parents, may have driven him to despair. Others, however, remember Timipre as a quiet and well-liked individual who was pursuing a passion for mobile phone repair in the community.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of addressing mental health concerns and providing support to vulnerable individuals. As the community grapples with the loss of this young life, it is essential to promote open dialogue and seek solutions to prevent such tragedies in the future.
