A young man identified as Stephen Chidubem has tragically ended his life over alleged gambling debts in Abuja.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at his residence on Abba Street, behind the Anglican Church in Saburi 2. According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, Chidubem allegedly hung himself using a rope tied to a ceiling fan.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene and moved the body to Kubwa General Hospital, where doctors confirmed him dead. His body has since been deposited at the hospital’s mortuary for an autopsy.
A suicide note recovered at the scene revealed that Chidubem had been battling a severe gambling addiction. In the note, he apologized to those he owed money and those affected by his actions.
Part of the note read:
“Sorry to everyone who cared, I can’t continue putting people in trouble because of my gambling addiction. Please forgive me, Elvis, Paul, and all I’m owing. And you, Bishop Andy Ero, give the balance of N507,500 to Elvis or Paul.”
It was gathered that the deceased had been dealing with serious financial distress and emotional struggles linked to his gambling habit.
