A 38-year-old man, Gabriel Magaji,has reportedly committed suicide over his wife’s alleged infidelity in Masaka, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
Magaji’s lifeless body was found inside a classroom at Crystal School, Masaka by residents, hours after committing the act in the council.
The 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.”
