An official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Tope Akinde, hanged himself using a mango tree on Saturday, 1st January, in Lagos.
Tope Akinde on Saturday morning hanged himself on the side of a billboard covered by a mango tree around Salvation bus stop, Opebi, Ikeja.
According to reports, the LATSMA official was recently redeployed from his Alausa base, but was not happy about the redeployment, though his elder brother claimed he had been suffering from mental instability for a while and the family had been managing it before his death.
Akinde’s corpse has since been retrieved and deposited at IDH Hospital, Yaba mortuary by the Lagos State Ambulance Service.
