Abdul, a National Diploma graduate of the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi, lived in Dilimi area of Jos. It was learnt that since he was duped of the money he had been behaving strangely until he drank rat poison to end his life.
Alhaji Zazzaga said life is precious and it is ungodly and criminal for anyone to take another person’s life, including theirs, adding that murder has no place or justification in any culture, religion or clime.
He also called on all those attacking Hausa/Fulani communities in the southern part of the country to desist from the act, pointing out that the attacks are unreasonable and unjustifiable.
