GistMore7:
A Chief Magistrates’ Court in Minna on Tuesday ordered that a student, Suleman Ayuba, 19, who pleaded guilty to attempted suicide by taking rat poison, be remanded in prison, pending sentencing.

Magistrate Hauwa Yusuf, who gave the order after Ayuba pleaded guilty, fixed Sept. 16 for sentencing.

Ayuba, who resides in Ungwan Daji, Minna, was charged with attempted suicide, contrary to the provisions of Section 231 of the Penal Code Law of Niger State.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, ASP Daniel Ikwoche, told the court that one Badamosi Abdullahi reported the matter on Aug 23.

Ikwoche said the complainant, a noodles seller, alleged that on the same day at about 7 p.m., the defendant bought some and poured a pack of poison in it and ate it.

He said that the defendant became unconscious afterwards and was taken to the hospital where he was revived.

When the charges were read to him, Ayuba pleaded guilty and begged the court for leniency.

”I wanted to take my life because life is too hard for me as an orphan,” he told the court.

This is matter should be handled by 19 healthy looking youth drilling his wayward ass with good horse-whip to permanently drive every suicide thoughts.

Rubbish

Remanding someone who wants to commit suicide in prison? This is a perfect example of "just because its the law ,doesn't make it right". Is this what will solve his depression? like why is it even a crime to commit suicide,still finding the logic behind this law .
This guy should be talking to a therapist, i mean wont that be cheaper than paying lawyers to prosecute him and even feed him in prison? Lawd! This is so unreasonable

It's based on "Thou shalt not kill"
Others O, yourself O...
Thou shalt not kill

The guy needs a therapist or else they will just aggravate his condition.

and you think the best solution is to lock up a person who want to harm themselves? They might as well use a bedsheet to hang themselves in prison. Someone says things are too hard for him and you want to subject him to the terrible Nigerian prison.

Is it by force to live and remain alive especially in Nigeria?

Am tired of this country please can somebody help book the next available flight?

The young man needs a therapist not prison cell.

Depression is rampant among many Nigerian youths especially in this tough economy and most can't seek help even from their family or friends. To make it worse, there's not a lot of effort put in to spread awareness of depression and it's repercussions


Backward country

Depression rampant in naija

I believe this law was done in 1960 using the British law as a template ,but guess what ,the Britons have long borrowed sense and change this unreasonable and illogical law.

It's a crime to commit suicide cos u belong to the government
Until they kill u by law
U have no right to kill yourself

If they try that with me, that day they will change the law.
At least 2 people will go with me that day. All die na die

In your foolish mind you made sense right. That would be your way of handling a suicidal person.

Seun abeg introduce age restrictions on nairaland.

Is it not madness to start trying someone that wants to commit succide in court? Why is this country so bleeped? Pls take him to a therapist that will heal him, Bubu has coursed so much depression in the land..

Insult upon injury

Naija

I cant imagine the kind of nigeria i found myself. This person needs a therapist and nt a court case for God sake. Kaiii. This country has lost it

Prison sentence for someone that wants to die? I need to consult my lawyer as I've never heard of this kain law before o, so will that stop him from committing suicide in jail, at least the gari wey dey go fit go round thise still having ambition to stay alive

YesYesYes

Dear all, that boy does not need a therapist. He needs food, and multifaceted provision. He said life had become too hard.

One time in America, the Punishment for attempted suicide is death.

”I wanted to take my life because life is too hard for me as an orphan,” he told the court.
God pls help him, he must have suffered a lot before deciding to end his life

What a country

Someone who attempts suicide is depressed

He needs a therapist and not a prison...idoits
