A 42-year-old native doctor, Terhemen Iorbee, in Ushongo Local Government Area of Benue State, has committed suicide by hanging himself.

The native doctor was earlier declared missing before his body was later found hung on a tree.

It was gathered that the incident, which happened at the weekend, jolted the residents.

Although no suicide note was found to ascertain the cause of his suicide, locals in the area said that the deceased had manifested  strange behaviours in recent times.

“There is nothing to show the cause of his suicide except the strange behaviours he was displaying few weeks ago.

“He was a native doctor and married to three wives and had four children,” one of the locals said.

The  state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Catherine Anene, confirmed the hanging of the native doctor.
