The deceased has been buried according to Islamic injunction
A 24-year-old man, Abubakar Ahmed, was on Saturday found hanging on a tree in Ganten-Tudu in Kaoje Development Area of Kebbi State.
A resident of the area, Tukur Mohammed, said in Birnin Kebbi that the deceased was believed to have committed suicide over a failed marriage bid.
Mr. Mohammed said the deceased had been farming to earn a living.
He added that the deceased ostensibly committed suicide after failing to produce N40,000 bride price for the marriage scheduled for Friday, January 31.
The witness said that the deceased was not happy with an arrangement to postpone the marriage to Friday, February 7 in spite of assurance from relatives that the money would be paid.
The deceased reportedly travelled to neighbouring Buya village with a friend on a motorcycle to recover a debt but was unsuccessful. He was not seen again until his corpse was found dangling on a tree on Saturday.
The sole administrator of Kaoje Development Area, Bello Abdullahi, confirmed the incident.
He said the deceased had been buried according to Islamic injunction while the police have commenced investigation into the matter.
