A cleric has reportedly committed suicide after being
alleged to have used the church’s money for personal
use.


The Punch reports that the 49-year-old simply
identified only as Bassey slashed his throat after he
was wrongly accused by his church members.

The incident which happened last Monday at about
5.00am on Abari Street in Mulero, Dopemu area of
Lagos was reported to the police at the Dopemu
divison, and after depositing his remains in a
morgue, his wife, and son were arrested in
connection with the incident.

The pastor, before committing the act, was said to
have written a short note where he stated that his
family was not complicit in his death as preliminary
investigation revealed that he was apparently
frustrated after being accused diverting the
undisclosed sum.
