A young man identified as Saifullahi, a native of Shata village in Bosso local government area of Niger state, has taken his own life over his inability to pay the N250,000 debts he owed several people.
Saifulahi’s sudden death left the community in shock and disbelief after his neighbours found his body hanging from a rope in his bedroom on Monday, July 24.
His girlfriend, Rebecca, claimed she saw the deceased alive when he visited her, saying he was very disturbed.
She disclosed that late Saifullah told her that he had accumulated a debt of N250,000 and did not know how he would pay his debts.
Speaking to journalists, Rebecca said:
“The debts were causing him a lot of concern, and he was in great distress. I tried to assure him that the situation of things would improve; I did not know he would kill himself.”
A community resident, Abdullahi Ndanusa, said that Saifullahi was a young man full of potential as he has been one of the youth influencers in the community.
