A popular Twitter influencer known as Tunde has allegedly committed suicide hours after stating that he was in dire need of money.
Tunde, better known as Tuneri, had taken to the microblogging platform on Tuesday to seek financial help.
“I need money like mad, Jesus,” he had written in a brief post which has over 2,000 likes and more than 900 retweets as of the time of this report.
According to his friends on Twitter, Tunde fought depression due to lack of cash before taking his own life.
While TheNewsGuru is yet to confirm the cause of his demise as at the time of filing this report, a lady identified as Tola who claimed to be his girlfriend recounted how she got the tragic news.

The sad incident has since sparked mixed reactions on the social media
“Tunde took his life out of depression, only God knows how long he has been trying to hold up! For a young man like him to fight and give up means he’s been holding up for a long time. We always tell men to speak up but the question is ‘when they speak up who would listen?” a user queried.
“Tunde said he needed help, he called a few folks . But the they respond? No they probably thought it was one of those normal gist. To think that he was a media personality baffles me where all his colleagues will think all is going well with him…” another user wrote.
No offence bah but people are quite hypocritical. Dude killed himself because he needed money, I’m sure he has guys who could wrap up 100-200k for him or his close follower’s but no, it’s now that he’s dead, they are saying ‘Tunde No’
No what exactly.
