78 years old Hassan Ciroma met his painful end on Monday when he reportedly slit his own throat at an abattoir in Kano City.
Eyewitnesses said that the septuagenarian was earlier sighted at the blacksmithing section of the market where he was said to have purchased a butchery knife.
“We mistook him as one of the numerous butchers plying their trade, but we were shocked soon as he turned the same knife against himself,” said an eyewitness.
He added that the man's grotesque cry of agony triggered pandemonium among the people in the market, most of whom did not have the stomach to watch the bizarre scene.
However, Vanguard reports that the Police are viewing the incident from a different perspective.
Kano State Police Command's spokesman, ASP Magaji Musa Majia told Vanguard ;
: “We rushed to the scene and met the septuagenarian in his pool of blood, rushed him to the nearest medical facility where he gave up the ghost.
“We are working on two leads and the likely outcome of our investigation would certainly reveal whether it is suicide or otherwise.”
He added that the command had deposited the remains of the deceased at the hospital for autopsy.
21 year-old Onyebuchi Orima of Ugbona village in Ishieke community, Ebonyi State, Nigeria is battling for his life in a prayer house after a sexual encounter with his friend's wife.
THE NATION'S correspondent gathered that Onyebuchi had been having an illicit affair with the woman to the chagrin of his friend, Friday Nwankwo.
Reports have it that after their latest escapade, Onyebuchi developed severe pains in his manhood. He was taken to some local hospitals for treatment but to no avail.
The persistent pains forced Onyebuchi to a prayer house as a last resort. There he was said to have confessed his adulterous relationship with his friend's wife to the Pastor who advised him to equally confess to his friend, Friday Nwankwo in order to salvage his deteriorating health.
After the confession was made, Friday reportedly gave Onyebuchi a bill of two hundred and fifty thousand naira (N250,000.00) to reverse the spell which had been cast on his manhood.
Friday Nwankwo said he contacted a witch doctor to prepare the spell when he discovered that his friend had been sleeping with his wife.
