The incident that occurred in Shata village in Bosso local government has left the community in a state of shock and disbelief.
Saifullahi’s body was found hanging from a rope in his bedroom by his neighbours on Monday afternoon.
Speaking to newsmen, his girlfriend, identified as Rebecca, claimed that she saw the deceased alive when he visited her, saying that he was very disturbed.
According to her, the deceased told her that he had accumulated a debt of N250,000 and did not know how he would pay his debts as the debtors had begun asking for their monies.
“The debts were causing him a lot of concerns, 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,” she said.
Residents said the deceased didn’t leave a suicide note.
