'Kelvin Lakoju did not kill himself" close friends of Kelvin respond

      Friends and family of Kelvin Lakoju, the 28-year-old Nigerian student in India who allegedly committed suicide by jumping off the second floor of his rented accommodation, don't believe the suicide story. Close friends of the photography student said Kevin had absolutely no reason to commit suicide and he wasn't suffering from depression as it's being alleged by the Indian police.

A friend living in India said "Kelvin was killed, we know it, the Indian police knows it, they have confirmed it". Although investigations are still going on, it is believed that the possibility of suicide has been ruled out.
Kelvin was said to have received death threats from his landlord and on several occasions he had reported to his parents. Unconfirmed reports say that new findings will be sent out soon.

Nigerian student, Kevin Lakoju allegedly commits suicide in India

 
According to The Times of India, a 28-year-old Nigerian student allegedly committed suicide after jumping off the second floor of his rented accommodation in Sector 41. Police said preliminary probe suggests that the deceased, Kelvin Lakoju, aka 'Biggie' was in depression.

Kelvin had been living in Noida since 2009 and was pursuing a photography course from an institute in Film City. Cops said he jumped off around 11pm on Wednesday January 2nd.

"We have questioned some people and came to know that he was upset for some reasons," said deputy SP, S Chinappa.

"His friends said Kelvin was good at studies. Some personal problem could be the reason for committing suicide," said a senior police officer.

Some sources do however allege that Kevin was pushed, others say he was killed then pushed. The Nigerian Embassy and the deceased's family have been informed about the incident. It is hoped that Nigerian authorities in India will do some investigation into the alleged suicide, and hopefully corroborate the suicide story, if indeed it was a suicide.
