Reports have it that a 37-year-old security guard at the Prestige International College, Kano, identified as Nurudeen Shehu has taken his own life.
The Kano state Police Commissioner, Usaini Gumel, who confirmed this to journalists, disclosed that the incident happened inside one of the college’s classrooms.
“On January 28, at approximately 10:30 am, Abdullahi Abdulsalam of Rijiyar Zaki reported that Shehu was found hanging motionless in a classroom. Police from the Gwale Division, led by the DPO, rushed into the classroom, cut the rope, and rushed the body to the Murtala Muhammed General Hospital, where a doctor on duty confirmed his death and his remains were subsequently released to the deceased’s family for burial.” Gumel added.
It was alleged that Shehu’s decision to take his life was followed the news of his ex-wife’s remarriage to another man.
Meanwhile, the police commissioner in the state assured citizens of the state that the police would carry out a detailed investigation to uncover the circumstances behind the sudden tragedy that befell the deceased.
