An Imo state resident, Chidozie Anyanwu was seen lying on MCC/Uratta Road, Owerri, on Monday as he plans to commit suicide out of frustration. He refused to leave the road despite warnings that he
could be crushed to death by vehicles, but maintains that he is ready to die if the standard of living in the state does not improve.
Motorists, including tricycle riders, plying the road, however, carefully avoided him, Anyanwu, who is said to be married with three children said that his mother died recently and was put in the mortuary, adding that she had yet to be buried due to lack of funds saying that it was difficult for him to feed his family due to the harsh economy. He later left the road after some residents prevailed on him not to kill himself.
