Japa: Kano man stopped from killing self over visa ordeal

“On receiving the information, we quickly sent our fire fighting vehicle to the scene at 10:10 a.m,” he stated.

According to the statement, Rabiu, a resident of Semegu Quarters, attempted to hang himself over his inability to refund N2 million to those he tried to assist in obtaining a travel Visa.

Those he helped secure visa rejected the type of visa he got them as that wasn’t what they agreed on.

“During interrogation, we gathered that Rabiu connected some people to those that process travel visas to foreign countries, which was successful.

“Those he tried to help, however, rejected the visa, saying it was not the type they paid for and demanded for a refund of their money already paid to the processors.

“We reliably gathered that he was able to raise half-a-million naira only.

“But pressure and threats from the people he wanted to assist made him to try to take his own life,” the PRO added.

He further stated that Rabiu was rescued alive and handed over to Zaharaddini of Farm Centre Police Division
