The student Identified as Musa David, allegedly committed suicide while in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, in Birnin Kebbi.
However, the NSCDC has refuted the allegation, which was widely circulated in the state capital yesterday.
The NSCDC spokesperson, Akeem Adeyemi, described the incident as unfortunate.

He warned the general public about the dangers of spreading rumours while advising them to always verify things before sharing with others.

His corpse had since been handed over to his relatives for burial.
