He alleged that whenever Emmanuel threatened to commit suicide, his mother ignored the threat.

His tweet read, “One guy took Sniper in OAU today. I was with the boy on Friday night. Apparently, the mum always tells him he can’t amount to nothing and whenever he threatens suicide, she always like, ‘leave him, that’s how he does’. Mama don come meet dead body in school today (His mum met his dead body in school today when she came).”
