Reports of suicide or attempted suicide seem to be more prevalent in Nigeria lately.
For instance, SaharaReporters reported in September how Bauchi State Command of the Nigeria Police Force said that a 17-year-old boy identified as Betwom Timothy, committed suicide.
Regretting the tragedy, the command said the teenager who hailed from Bombar in the Bogoro Local Government Area of the state hanged himself on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, for unknown reasons.
The Command’s spokesperson, Ahmed Wakil, who disclosed the unfortunate incident to journalists in Bauchi, said the deceased left his house for a stream to take his bath but did not return home.
