Achusa, a small village in Makurdi local
government of Benue State has been thrown into
confusion after an 11-year-old boy identified as
Terkula Botwer committed suicide by hanging
himself on a tree.
Tekula, who was accused of stealing N200 by
his guardian, allegedly committed suicide to
prove his innocence.
An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity noted
that,“It all happened on Sunday morning when
Mrs. Nadoo Hember, the boy’s guardian, was
alleged to have complained that her only N200
was missing in the house she lived with the late
boy.
“She confronted Terkula who denied taking the
money, but as she was leaving for church, she
allegedly warned the boy that if the money was
not found, she would be forced to return him
back to his parents in the village.
“Unfortunately, when she got back from church
later in the day, she got into the house and
discovered that the boy was nowhere to be
found. But after a search, the lifeless body of the
boy was seen hanging on a tree at the back of
the house.
“It was at that point that she raised alarm that
attracted neighbours who gathered at the scene
to rescue the boy who was already dead.”
Confirming the incident the Benue State Police
Public Relations Officer, PPRO, ASP Austin
Ezeani disclosed that the incident was reported
on Sunday at the ‘B Division’ police station in the
State.
Ezeani further stated that officers attached to
the Division were despatched to the scene where
the body was recovered and deposited at the
Makurdi Federal Medical Centre.
The PPRO further stated “we are carrying out
serious investigations into the matter in order to
unravel the mystery of the bizarre death,” though
no arrest has been made.
