A casual worker at Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue State has committed suicide.

Information Officer of the Council, Chris Avi, who identified the deceased as Aondona Yaga, confirmed his death.

Yaga was said to have set himself ablaze in his house, owing reportedly to difficult times occasioned by non-payment of his allowances for a long time.

His grandmother, it was learnt, told sympathisers how miserable he had been as a result of this.

His burnt body was still in the house as of last night.
