Kano Fire Service Rescues 37-Year-Old from Suicide Attempt Over Failing N2m Visa Deal 1

The Service’s Public Relations Officer, Alhaji Saminu Abdullahi, revealed this information in a statement to newsmen on Thursday in Kano.

Abdullahi said that the incident occurred on Thursday morning at State Road, Tarauni Local Government Area of Kano.

We received a distress call at about 10:07 a.m. from the Ministry of Works and Housing, Kano State, about a suicide attempt by hanging on a tree.

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

Abdullahi stated that Rabiu, a resident of Semegu Quarters, attempted suicide over his inability to refund N2 million to those he tried to assist in obtaining a travel visa.

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 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 try to take his own life,” the PRO added

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

Kanyi Daily recalls that an explosion occurred at an illegal used engine oil modular refinery situated in a densely populated zone within Kano metropolis, leading to the death of one person and causing injuries to several others on Monday.
