A man identified as Iliya Adamu has committed suicide after persistent allegation of N40,000 theft by his brother in Adamawa.
34-year-old Adamu allegedly hanged himself after battling with his brother’s allegations for a long time.
Adamu, who is of Kwanan Waya in Yola South Local Government Area and was a bricklayer working in Girei, in Girei LGA, was accused of stealing the money in April this year.
It was gathered Tuesday that he decided to end it all at the weekend after about seven months of helplessly denying the charge of theft hitting him from his brother.
Adamu’s body was found dangling from a tree branch in the bush in Girei, a source said, adding that a container of insecticide was found on the ground around the scene.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, who confirmed the incident, said police operatives were investigating it.
