Speaking to newsmen on the sad development, a family source said the family have been treating Kevwe since he fell sick.

“Just last month, he went to see the doctor again and they told him to bring N170,000. Now see what he has done. How will he come to the Olympia, the centre of the town and drink snipper, killing himself in the process?” the source said.

Reacting to the incident, Kevwe’s mother lamented that her son had been threatening to take his own life for some time.

She said: “He was in my house this morning, it was in my house that he took his bath and I even bought bread and a bottle of Fanta drink for him. He was complaining about the same problem and I told him to have hope that we will raise the cash, now see what he has done.”
