FFK Slams RCCG Over Pastor Who Committed Suicide Over Accommodation



Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK, has berated the RCCG over one of their pastors, Michael Arowosaiye, who committed suicide. 
Reacting to the news, FFK shared the below on Twitter: 
For a Church to sit by and do nothing when one of its young Ministers cannot pay his rent is sad. For them to turn their backs on him and drive him into such a state of frustration, despair and desperation that he ends up committing suicide is damn right condemnable. RCCG why?
According to reports, Michael Arowosaiye, a gospel minister of RCCG at one of the branches in Abuja, allegedly committed suicide by hanging. The incident which was confirmed by one of his friends happened around 4pm on Tuesday, May 14, 2019, at Sunnyvale Estate. The deceased allegedly hanged himself with his belt.


It was gathered that Michael, who recently ministered during a Youth Praise event at the church, entered into depression over his accommodation issues before taking this drastic step.
An official statement from his family or RCCG is yet to be released to confirm his death. Sadly suicide and depression continues to linger in the community. You would recall that yesterday were had reported a UNN 1st class student Chukwuemeka Akachi who committed suicide and left a note on Facebook for whoever finds his body. He also revealed he has had a long battle with mental health and also another student who almost committed suicide because of his jamb score and peer pressure. 
Do you think the economic situation of the country has led to the increase in suicide rate among youths and teenagers?
