“He got married in 2017 and he has only one child – a boy,” the source said.
He said that the Nigerian Army headquarters said an investigation to determine the cause of death had begun.
“We lost this young man (my brother-in-law), Captain Alphonsus Alexander Kalthy Bazza, last night. He committed suicide in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
“But the army headquarters is investigating the real cause of his death. They claimed his body was found hanging in the bush. No note was given to either his wife or any member of his family; the family is not aware that he left any note behind,” the family source said.
