A divorce, Nurudeen Shehu, 37, and a security guard have reportedly committed suicide upon learning his former wife is thriving after getting married to another man.
Shehu hanged himself in a classroom at Prestige International College, Kano, where he worked as a guard, as disclosed by Kano Police Commissioner Usaini Gumel.
“On January 28, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Abdullahi Abdulsalam of Rijiyar Zaki reported that Shehu was found hanging motionless in a classroom,” Gumel said.
“Police from the Gwale Division, led by the DPO, bulldozed their way 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.”
It was learned that Shehu’s tragic decision to end his life was informed by news of his former wife’s remarriage to another man.
Gumel gave the people the assurance that the police would conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
