Chukwuemeka Akachi, a first class final year English and Literary studies student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, has taken his own life after a long battle with mental health.
Akachi died yesterday, after leaving a suicide note and revealing his long battle with mental health on Facebook. He allegedly died at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku Ozalla, where he was rushed to.
It was gathered that Akachi consumed two bottles of a poisonous substance and according to one of his friends, it was the second time he would be attempting suicide in recent times.
He wrote on Sunday, May 12: "My mental health has been on life support for a while now. Thanks to those who call. Text. Visit. Speak to me. May we always remember. May we never forget. You may have added a few hours, months or days to my time here. But you know life support is expensive right? Thanks for trying. Amen."
Then, on Monday, May 13, just before he ended his life, he shared a post titled, "suicide note". In it, he made it clear that he was about to take his life. But very few paid attention to it until he followed through with the suicide.
His suicide note reads: "Suicide Note.
Forgive me. In case you are the one who found the body, I am really sorry. It had to be someone, you know. I have chosen Jo Nketaih’s poem as my suicide note: “They said you came looking for me. I didn’t drown; I was the water.” Where do atheists go to when they die? lol. Amen."
Friends have now taken to his post to type "RIP".
