According to the chief, the man was agitated after his wife refused to sell their subwoofer to raise the money.

Moments later, he was found laying on the floor and rushed to the Macalder Health Centre.

Mr. Odira decried the rising cases of suicide in the area noting that many people take their own lives over petty issues that can be solved through counselling.
