This is really unfortunate. There is more to this story and I hope that the truth comes out so that the family of the deceased will at least get closure on this. The questions will always keep coming.
ReplyDeleteSpeculations! We dont get authentic report/news. I expected to read from test or post mortem done on him in an hospital, it was diagnoised he ingested poison. Plz, improve! Would one take his life with good money around d corner?
ReplyDeletehe was probably murdered by one of his rivals. cos i dont see any reason why one will commit suicide n especially not after been awarded a contract.
