The source disclosed that the Police Command has taken over the case following the unfortunate incident.
Musa indicated on his phone that his people could be contacted without hindrance.
The man, who had no wife or kids added that nobody should cry over his demise.
According to the source, the deceased was stopped by his neighbours from hanging himself in December 2024.
The source further stated that Musa also drank insecticide and pesticide, which led to his admittance in hospital for two months.
After he was discharged from the hospital, Musa’s family continued to mount pressure on him, which led him to leave the house.
“In his quest for a new house, someone sublet one of the rooms in her home to him. He has been in that house since May 2024.
“The house rent expired in December, but he was given until the end of January to vacate, as the house owner wanted to renovate the house.
“The person who sublet the house told him three days ago to find another house, as the owner had told them to leave. He became depressed and hanged himself.”
