‘Please bury me at home’- Student wrote before committing suicide

A 22-year-old student of Sheikh Kamaldeen Arabic School, Ilọrin, Kwara State, simply identified as Alfa Musa, has reportedly committed suicide.

It was reported that the deceased who was found hanging on a rope in his room at the Dagbenu compound in Ogidi area of Ilorin West Local Government on Thursday, left a note pleading that he be buried at ‘home’.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, who confirmed the incident, stated that in the suicide note, Musa had stated that he committed the act because God did not answer his prayer.

According to the PPRO, the deceased student said in the suicide note, “To my mum and dad, I am sorry, I did this because God did not answer my prayers, I would rather die than sin, please, forgive me, I love you, bury me at home,”

Ejire-Adeyemi added that an investigation into the young man’s death has commenced.

Musa’s lifeless body was discovered after one of his friends who visited his residence on the day of the incident found that the door to his room was locked.

One of his neighbours who pleaded anonymity stated that after knocking for a while and couldn’t get any response, the friend had forced the door open.

“There was assurance that he was inside, but after repeated knocks without response, the door was forced open, and he was found hanging.

“An empty paint container which he allegedly used to hang himself was also found in his room,” the neighbour said.

It was gathered that the deceased’s father was contacted after the incident, but he directed that his son be buried in Ilorin.

This was against the wish of the deceased, who was said to be a native of Osun State.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS

The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.

The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.

He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.

His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.

“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.

“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.

“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
