A man, Mustapha Yakubu, on Tuesday committed suicide at Angwan Gwari Kwamba in Suleja Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger State.

Yakubu drank a poisonous substance suspected to be Sniper insecticide brand and died in his room. An empty bottle of the substance and a suicide note were found in the room.

The note which was shown to our reporter by a neighbor, Jegede Badmus, via his phone reads: “Sorry. I end am like this.”

According to Badmus, Yakubu’s relatives evacuated his remains for burial according to Islamic rites.

He further said, “We were all shocked when we discovered what happened, because he was good to everyone. I wonder what could have been the reason for his action. Someone that was just starting life. He’s not even up to 30 years.

“As soon as the discovery was made, his relatives here in Suleja came around and took his body for burial. It was very obvious it was a suicide case.”

A resident, who didn’t want his name in print, said the deceased was recently defrauded.
