A 30-year-old student of the Nigerian Law School,
Abuja, Auwal Haruna, on Monday, allegedly
committed suicide by hackiing himself on the
ceiling fan in his hotel room in Takum.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP
Joseph Kwaji, confirmed the incident to the News
Agency of Nigeria in Jalingo, saying the matter
was under investigation.
Kwaji said the body of the deceased was found
dangling from a ceiling fan at Mairiga Guest Inn,
Takum.
He said the deceased, until his death, was a
suspect in a case of murder involving his younger
brother, Ahmed, who allegedly connived with their
mother, Aisha, to murder their father, Haruna
Mohammed.
(Ahmed), 27, was allegedly being detained for
abducting and hanging his father to death in the
suburb of Gembu over his father’s alleged
marriage of a second wife against the wishes of
his wife.
NAN reports that there is an upsurge in suicide
cases in Taraba. Kwaji attributed the increase in
cases of suicide to drug abuse and frustration.
“Most of these young men commit suicide as a
result of drug abuse and frustration in life.
“Suicide is not the solution to our problems. Killing
oneself is not only contrary to the laws of the land,
but also against our religions,’’ Kwaji said.
