A married church leader and award winning pharmacist, Paul Olafare, allegedly committed suicide on April 12th at his home in Lagos.

The circumstances that led to the suicide are still not clear as many do not think that someone who was full of life a few days earlier would decide to take his own life.
According to multiple sources, Paul, a father of two, had suffered chronic depression following a huge unpaid loan he collected from some people to set up his own pharmacy. Unfortunately, his dream of starting his own business failed leading to huge financial indebtedness.

One of his close friends said that Paul had hinted to his wife that he would take his life if things didn’t change for him. Not long ago he even attempted to jump into the lagoon but was stopped by his wife.
His wife said she heard him writhing in pain as she was preparing for church and found that he had drank poison.
Although Paul had been battling with depression for a while, his family didn’t believe he had committed suicide and lodged a murder charge against the man’s wife who is now being questioned by the State Criminal Investigation Department.
