Parents of a 13-year-old boy are yet to come to terms with his death which occurred under mysterious circumstances few days ago.
Aounduver Terunm, a JSS2 pupil of Lady Celina Academy, was found hanging by a piece of rag inside his parents’ chicken pen at their residence behind Federal Pay Office, Nyima.
He was said to be playing football with his friends on Sunday afternoon before he disappeared from their midst.
A search for Aounduver led his mother to the chicken pen, where he was found hanging lifeless.
The mother, Veronica Terunm, who couldn’t comprehend the boy’s decision to commit suicide, told newsmen: ‘I cannot just understand what really happened I must confess.
‘He was just a small boy, I advised on Sunday afternoon on the need for him to be a good boy in the family and few hours later I found him hanging and dead in our chicken pen.
‘That afternoon he was playing football with his mates outside and at about 7pm we started looking for him after his mates had all gone home.
‘After searching the entire neighbourhood for him, my instinct directed me to the pen where I found him hanging lifeless.
‘I couldn’t understandable it. I screamed and called his father who was not within at the time. My husband came and was speechless and shocked.
‘We immediately called the Police who came and observed the situation and after examining his remains they expressed shock that he did not stool or urinate on his body as expected in such deaths.
‘Moreover, he was hung with a piece of rag which obviously couldn’t have carried his body weight and his legs were on the ground that has left us even more confused, however we are not suspecting anybody in this matter but we are allowing the Police do their investigation.’ she added.
