According to sources, the deceased consumed a poisonous substance suspected to be Sniper on Sunday night, ending his life in a tragic act of desperation. Residents say the incident left the community in shock and sorrow.

Samson‘s death comes just months after a fire destroyed his electronics shop in the same town — an event that significantly worsened his financial struggles and emotional well-being.

Neighbours revealed that he had been supporting his girlfriend for years, but things took a heartbreaking turn when she allegedly left him for another man amid worsening hardship.

One resident described Samson as a quiet but kind young man, noting that his recent mood suggested he was struggling emotionally. “He gave so much to that relationship, and losing her shattered him,” the source said.

When contacted, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, stated that the incident would be investigated and promised to update our correspondent in Warri.
