Lagos State 2013 Pharmacist Of The Year, Paul Olafare, Commits Suicide

According to multiple sources, award winning pharmacist and church leader, Paul Olafare, reportedly committed suicide on Sunday, April 12th at his home in Lagos. He was found dead by his wife. Reports revealed that the father of two, had been under a lot of pressure following a huge unpaid loan he collected from some people to set up his own pharmacy. His dream of setting up his own pharmacy failed leading to huge financial indebtedness. This allegedly led to chronic depression.

Paul was awarded the Lagos State Pharmacist of the Year 2013 and was reported to have been an active member of his church where he mentored the youth group. A friend close to the situation disclosed that Paul had allegedly hinted to his wife that he would take his life if things didn't change for him. He also recently attempted to jump into the lagoon but was stopped by his wife.

His wife said she found him writhing in pain in the morning as she was prepared for church and found that he'd drank poison as he later died.

Though he'd been allegedly battling with depression for a while, his family didn't believe he'd committed suicide and lodged a murder charge against the man's wife who is now being questioned by the State Criminal Investigation Department.

His family and friends have been posting condolence messages on his Facebook wall to express their sadness over his death..check on it below;
