The news of Nwakoby’s suicide had prompted rumours that he may have died as a result of undue pressure that was mounted on him by his employer, FCMB.
Findings have, however, revealed that the deceased had amassed huge debt from personal commitments and was at the verge of “losing everything.”
“I was shocked to hear that he had killed himself despite all the assurances I gave him just that night. This is most heartbreaking.”
It was gathered that Nwakoby, who had suffered a massive depression lately, had approached his spiritual adviser for help.
On meeting the Pastor, he narrated his ordeal and informed his host to take care of his family in case any untoward thing happened to him. Shortly afterwards, a loud bang was heard.
He had shot himself in the head.
Although the pastor has declined comments, those close to him confirmed that Nwakoby never hinted what he was about to do.
“He had been a frequent visitor to this premises,” another source said.
“So there’s no way we could have suddenly detected that he was having issues the time he visited.”
A family member described Nwakoby as a “loving, unassuming and hardworking man. He ensured a good life for himself, his family and those around”.
“There’s hardly anything he has that he cannot give. It is sad he passed away like this”.
Nwakoby, until his death, was the head of operations at the Lekki Branch of First City Monument Bank which he joined more than a decade ago.
He left behind his wife and 10-year old daughter.
