Gabriel Iliya Magaji, a 38-year-old resident of Masaka in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, has reportedly committed suicide over his wife’s alleged infidelity.
Magaji’s corpse was found in a classroom at Crystal School, Masaka.
Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) of Nasarawa Command, DSP Nansel Ramhan, confirmed Magaji’s death to journalists in Lafia, the state capital, on Wednesday.
According to him, “On Monday at about 7am a report was lodged by a staff of Crystal School Masaka, in our office in Masaka division, that yet to be identified 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 untied 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.”
DSP Ramhman, however, stated that no suicide note was found on the deceased, adding that the police had began a thorough investigation with the aim to unravel the remote cause of the untimely death.
According to a note seen by our correspondent, an individual who claimed to be familiar with the development said the man took his life after he found out that his friends frequently slept with his wife in exchange for money.
