Suicide: Twin discloses reason brother killed self

The twin brother and the wife of Mr. Taiwo Ariyo, have revealed the reason their brother and husband killed self after drinking insecticide, Sniper, after announcing on Facebook.
Despite efforts to save his life, the victim died at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Lagos.
According to Mr. Kehinde, the 34 year-old victim had expressed sadness over the alleged uncaring attitude of their United States of America-based father, Mr. Clement Ariyo, who is a pathologist with the Red Cross Society, was said to have married two wives.
While Taiwo’s mother had three children, the second wife had two. It was alleged that Clement was always sending money to his second wife and her children while neglecting the three children of the first wife.
“Taiwo, who became depressed over the matter, headed for the house of his stepmother on Shaba Ojo Street, Igando, on Saturday. On sighting the pregnant wife, the Premier Lotto agent drank the insecticide and slumped. He was rushed to the Igando General Hospital around 12.30am on Sunday and was referred to LUTH, where he died,” he lamented.
A family source said when Clement was called that Taiwo had died, he asked the twin brother, Kehinde, to bury him.
When Clement was contacted, he said, “How can I take care of a 34-year-old person that went to school and got married? A man that had children with different women? And now that he is dead, he has added more to my burden.
Did you know that he had his first child 10 years ago? That child is now in Ado-Ekiti and I have been the one responsible for him. He had another child last year, but he denied the paternity. I am 66 years old and should be retired ordinarily; So how can the 34-year-old said I didn’t care about him? He was a controversial son for 34 years that he lived.”
