Police investigations revealed that Kalu, who lives at Plot 7, Oluwa Sesan Street, Ejigbo Road, Ikotun, Lagos, was driven to attempt suicide due to severe financial hardship.
He had taken a loan from an online lending platform and, facing persistent threats and no way to repay the debt, decided to end his life.
Detectives from the Ibafo Division visited the church, interviewed Kalu and the complainant, and documented the scene with photographs. Victor Kalu remains in police custody as further investigations continue.
