Ringim(Jigawa)- Tragedy
struck in the Ringim Local
government Area of Jigawa
on Friday when three
friends were found dead in
a room.
The dead friends were
identified as Ali Tajo,
Mustapha Murtala and Nasiru
Shehu .
The three lived and died in a
house, belonging to one of
the sons of the Emir of
Ringim, Alhaji Mahmoud
Sayyadi.
Malam Magaji Tambura, a
bricklayer working at the
house, said that he came to
the scene at about 7 am. to
pick tools that he had used
to work the previous day.
He said that when he
knocked on the door, there
was no response, making
neighbours to force the door
open to see the dead bodies
of the three friends.
“My friend and I were at
Syadi’s house to take our
working tools but on getting
there, we met the door
locked which is unusual at
that hour.
“We met three of them lying
down with their faces down
and their mouth foaming
and I immediately called
their names but none of
them responded,†he said.
A resident of the area who
gave his name as Ahmed
Danlami, expressed shock
over the tragedy that had
befallen the town.
Danlami said the three
friends must have inhaled
generator fumes in the
course of the night.
But another resident, Adamu
Saleh, speculated that the
dead young men must have
abused drugs before they
went to bed, saying that
they were suspected to be
drug addicts.
Saleh said that the matter
was reported to the police
and that the corpses had
been taken to the hospital
for medical examination.
When contacted, the PPRO of
the Jigawa State Police
Command, Malam Abdu
Jinjiri, said that the police
had been informed of the
matter but that they were
yet to get details from the
Divisional Police Officer at
the Ringim Local
Government Area. (NAN)
