The Nasarawa State Police Command has confirmed the death of a 38-year-old man, Gabriel Iliya Magaji, who took his own life in the Karu Local Government Area, allegedly due to his wife’s infidelity.

The tragic incident occurred on Monday in the Masaka area, where Magaji was found hanging in a classroom at Crystal School. The report was made by a staff member of the school, leading police officers to the scene. The body was then transported to the General Hospital Mararaba, where it was declared dead by medical personnel.

DSP Nansel Ramhan, the Police Public Relations Officer, stated that a thorough investigation has begun to uncover the true cause of Magaji’s death. No suicide note was discovered at the scene.

Speculations surfaced on social media suggesting that Magaji’s decision to end his life was linked to discovering that his wife had been involved in extramarital affairs with his friends for financial gain.
