A 38-year-old man, identified as Gabriel Iliya Magaji has allegedly committed suicide in the Masaka area of Nasarawa State.
The deceased was said to have taken his own life on the 9th of September, 2024, as a result of his inability to provide for his family.
This was disclosed in a short post titled “One Brother Down” on X by a sports enthusiast, Samuel Unique on Wednesday evening.
According to the post, the victim was also distressed by his friends’ advances towards his wife, who admitted to seeking help from others to feed their 3 children.
“Being overwhelmed by hardship, he tragically £nded his life,” the post reads.
“May God comfort our men and women; may we understand the country’s challenges and appreciate our husbands’ efforts.”
His death has been confirmed by the Spokesman of the Nasarawa State Police Command, DSP Nansel Ramhan.
DSP Ramhan said, “On Monday around 7am a report was lodged by a staff of Crystal School Masaka, in our office in Masaka division, that an unidentified man was found hanging in one of the classes, in Crystal school Masaka.
“Upon receipt of the complain, the DPO led his men to the scene and untired the corpse and took it to the General Hospital Mararaba, where he was confirmed dead by the doctor, so the corpse was deposited in the morgue.”
The police spokesman revealed that no suicide note was found on the deceased, thus an investigation has began into the case in order to unravel the cause of his demise.
