Video showing Izuchukwu Madubueze, 23, reading a suicide note before shooting himself dead has been shared online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Izu, from Anambra state, committed suicide in the US on Thursday, July 16, after a Twitter user accused him of harassing a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff\u2019s Office in Florida, United States, the Nigerian entrepreneur died by self-inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Izuchukwu Madubueze was the victim of what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound on July 16, 2020. The case is open and active and no further information will be provided at this time,” said Deputy Travis Sibley, a spokesman for the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before taking his life, Izu recorded himself reading his suicide note. The video has now been shared online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the video, he addressed the harassment allegation, declared his love for his family, and said some words to his accuser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I feel like it’ll be awesome to say some last words before I leave,” Izu began in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added: “In the last couple of weeks, I have seen the tweets. I have heard from several people, I’ve also seen some people who I expected a lot more from subtweeting me and I wasn’t ever given a fair chance to clear my name or explain my side of the story or verify whether any of the allegations against me were true or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To my family, first of all, I apologize for bringing disgrace to your name. I love you all unconditionally from the bottom of my heart.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To my mum, I pray you stay strong, ” he said with a shaky voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To my dad, you always said God will never give me a load that’s too heavy to carry but last two years have been the heaviest moments of my life\u2026 actually last three years have been the heaviest moments of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To my little bro, Ekene, I love you man. I wish we hadn’t grown super distant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To my sister, I love you so much sis. You have great things in store for you. You’re gonna be a very very great person.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He then addressed his accusers, saying: “To Ify and Duby I wronged and who I\u2026 who said I groped them, which hurts a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To girls who posted the list, thank you for posting the list.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Izu was referring to the list posted on Twitter where a number of men were named as people accused of sexual assault, harassment, or rape. Izu’s name was listed and he was accused of harassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list was posted by a user named Nani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Izu continued: “I mean, like I told you Nani, I can’t shoot the messenger. but your attitude not to work towards clearing up accusations was piss-poor. You denied me the opportunity to clear my name and you refused to tell me what exactly I did that was harassment, even after I provided proof that I didn’t harass this person\u2026.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After recording the suicide note, Izu also scheduled a short note that was posted on Twitter on July 17, one day after his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tweet reads: “Oh, and if you\u2019re reading this, I\u2019m dead. Lol.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
