Numa Julius, a father of eleven has committed suicide in Sapele, Delta state after being robbed of N600,000 belonging to the church. The money which is from the harvest fund entrusted in his care was said to have been carted away by a group of boys in the Oton area of Sapele where the church is located.
The 59-year old man who was reportedly acting strangely after the incident had been beseeching his friends and relatives for financial aid to replace the lost money and had threatened to commit suicide if no one helped him to end his misery.
