A security guard working in a private school in the ancient city of Kano, Kano State, 37-year-old Nuradeen Shehu, has allegedly committed suicide because his ex-wife got married to another man.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammad Usaini Gumel, made the disclosure while addressing the press, today.
He said Shehu, who was attached to a private school in Gwale Local Government Area of the state, was found hanging in one of the classrooms where he worked.
Gumel disclosed that a preliminary information indicated that the deceased might have hanged himself to death having realised that his ex-wife has remarried.
The police boss further disclosed the state police command has launched a thorough investigation to unravel the remote cause of the death.
“On January 28, at about 10:30 am, one Abdullahi Abdulsalam of Rijiyar Zaki, brought a report that Nuradeen Shehu, a security guard at the college, was found motionless after he hanged himself with rope in a classroom,” he said.
The police commissioner added that immediately the incident was reported, a team of policemen from Gwale Division, led by the DPO, was deployed to the scene.
Gumel said, upon arrival at the scene, they forcefully unlocked the door, cut the rope, and rushed the body of Shehu to Murtala Mohammed General Hospital where a medical doctor confirmed him dead.
The corpse of the man has already been released to the family of the deceased for burial.
