Jigawa Police Command’s spokesman DSP Lawan Shiisu Adam, who confirmed the incident, said the man’s lifeless body was found, last Thursday, hanging on a tree with a rope, presuming he had committed suicide.
“On 17/08/2023 at about 1100hrs, police received a report that a 35-year-old man Samaila Ilu of Dungun Tantama village, Hausa local government, left his house on 16/08/2023 to an unknown destination,” the report read.
Shiisu said a team of policemen removed the corpse and conveyed it to the hospital for autopsy.
He said it has since been released to his relatives for burial.
