A 30-Year-Old Photographer, Usman Sani Goga, has committed suicide in Akula Quarters, Babura Local Government Area of Jigawa State.

The spokesperson of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in the state, CSC Adamu Shehu, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Thursday, June 8, 2023, said the deceased hanged himself in his room on Wednesday.

CSC Shehu said his body was discovered by his wife upon returning from visitation.

“According to her, her husband dropped her at a relative's house that fateful day around 1400hrs with a promise to pick her up later in the evening. She said around 1700hrs she called his phone severally without response which made her take a commercial vehicle back home and on reaching there she realized that she was without keys and decided to call his phone again, yet there was no response,” the statement read.

"She requested the assistance of the motorcyclist to jump over the wall and unlock the main entrance from inside. Upon opening the door she saw her husband's motorcycle parked which is very unusual

"She hurried inside where she saw his body hanging from a ceiling fan hook in their bedroom. She fainted at the horrific sight and it was the motorcyclist who shouted for help and neighbors rushed to the scene. The body was then untied, brought down and rushed to the hospital where he was certified dead on arrival by a medical practitioner.

"Investigation into the incident revealed that a bedside drawer was used on top a 6' by 6' sized bed in order to reach to the ceiling where the hook is fixed, and rope was tied to it, the bedside drawer was then pushed off possibly with legs in order to dislodged or rather suspend the body from the hook.

“At the time of writing this report, details of his action were sketchy but close associates disclosed that the deceased has an inherent mental disorder that turns up occasionally. He was married to his wife about 4 months ago and was living happily with his wife. Further Investigation is ongoing. The deceased was buried according to Islamic rites.”

How will the angels welcome someone who committed suicide?Ban gane ba.

"I was in church sometime ago for the youth all-night program. It was a program where youth could discuss literally anything with pastors. You could ask any question, and the pastor or anyone else who knew the answer would answer you.

So, someone asked if people who committed suicide would make it to heaven, and almost everyone said NO.

Then I asked if Samson is in or going to hell, and the answer was NO. Seeing the confusion on my face, someone asked me if Samson committed suicide, and I said yes, which became a problem.

I told them that Samson knew he was going to die. In fact, he said, 'Let me perish with my enemies' before pulling down the building that killed him. They said I was wrong because his intention wasn't suicidal. I got even more confused and asked if taking one's life isn't suicide if the intention was noble. More confusion arose, but many people shared it.

To cause more confusion, I switched to Pidgin English. The pastor objected, saying that some things are simpler when explained in Pidgin English, and I reminded him how he had used the King James Version many times because the English adds more power to the prayer point.

He won though.

I asked the first apostle, 'What is suicide?. I want straight answers with no buts, if you have something to add you can do it later '

He replied, 'It's when a person kills himself.'

I said, 'Good, did Samson kill himself by pulling down the building or not?'

'He killed himself,' he replied.

'If an electrician doesn't wear gloves while working with electricity, isn't he trying to get himself electrocuted?' I asked.

'Yes, he is.' he responded.

'If the electric shock kills him, isn't it him killing himself?'

'Yes, he killed himself.'

'Then why do we call it an accident instead of suicide?'

' '

'Exactly.'

I told them that if suicide victims are going to hell, then a lot of Nigerians will be there because many who died from accident or the other were actually suicide victims. An electrician working without safety gear is suicidal, a driver speeding on a bad road is suicidal, a bike rider using one hand at high speed is suicidal, using a faulty car instead of fixing it is like wanting to kill yourself. If you have diabetes but eat anything that comes your way, it's the same thing. If your spouse consistently abuses you physically, knowing it could kill you, and you stay, it's the same thing, etc.

Don't tell me I was wrong; I know I wasn't completely correct, but my points presented a strong argument, and I enjoyed it. You should have seen their faces when I said that suicide was a brave act nah that one force them to collect their mike.

talented321:
why the angels does not prevent him from committing the crime,

thorpido:
He is the one to prevent himself.

talented321:
can you look your child to kill him self?

thorpido:
That is within my powers.Angels have roles and have powers to do and not to do.They do not intervene in every situation.

talented321:
according to our Bible God is all powerful, then why did he allow such things to happen then still judging his own child

thorpido:
Interesting points!
My position is that Samson killed himself.By killing himself,he is not in or cannot make heaven.I guess God is the one to decide however.
His manner of death can be argued as 'intentional suicide or collateral damage'.Someone whose death was purely suicide however was King Saul.
