A forty year old son of a former lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria has committed suicide after allegedly stabbing his father with a knife.
Chikudi Gideon who resides in Wusasa, Zaria, with his parents was said to have jumped to death after leaping from the Dan Magaji flyover and breaking his head.
The head of Wusasa, Engineer Isiyaku Yusuf confirmed the incident, “40-year old Gideon stabbed his father with a knife and left him in a pool of blood before proceeding to commit suicide.
“The young man was known to be a drug addict and hardly mingle with people. he was always alone and very reserved. It was when people took Gideon’s corpse to his parents’ house that they discovered that his father, Mr. Gideon Tseja, 75, was lying in blood. Therefore people concluded that it was after he finished stabbing the father that he went to kill himself,” he said.
Yusuf further explained that the septuaganarian father who was a lecturer at ABU was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
