Narrating the incident, the Assistant Secretary of the state NUJ, Alhaji Kabir Garba, who saved the retired civil servant at around 8:00am said on his arrival, he sighted an elderly man with a rope in his hand who told him he had planned to address journalists before proceeding to kill himself under a tree.
“He told me that he came from Ningi about 31 days ago; when he arrived Bauchi, he proceeded to Potiskum in Yobe State with a plan to go to Sambisa so he could be killed by Boko Haram. But when he got there, he changed his mind and came back to Bauchi.” “He said that he wanted to give two of his daughters out in marriage, but couldn’t get the money to do so. He took a loan from different people amounting to over N800,000 to do a lot of things but the people are demanding for their money,” Garba narrated.
