The deceased popularly known as Baba Tawa,
who operated three buses for his inter-city
transport business was said to have hanged
himself around 5.00a.m. after officers of the
Vehicle Inspection Officials (VIO) seized two of
his three buses.
Eye-witness accounts revealed that Pa Hassan
woke up alongside his family members around
5.00a.m. to observe their usual morning prayer
(Subri) but changed his mind on his way to the
mosque situated opposite his house and went into
his store room and took his life.
When journalists visited the scene of the
incident, yesterday, family members and
residents of the area were seen wailing even as
some of his associates were discussing the
mystery surrounding the tragedy.
Also, a team of officers from the Disaster and
Emergency Management Unit of the Nigerian
Security and
Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) was drafted to the
scene to maintain order.
At press time, Hassan’s corpse was still dangling
from the noose as no one was allowed to enter
into the room.
