Gabriel Magaji, a 38-year-old man in Masaka, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa state, has committed suicide by hanging himself over his wife’s alleged infidelity.

“Upon receipt of the complaint, 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.”
He added that the police command had commenced a thorough investigation into the incident to unravel the actual reason for his death.
The statement said no suicide note was seen at the location where the man hung himself.
