According to Shuaib’s uncle, the victim, who was from Ankara Wooro compound, Gwanara, took his life on Thursday because he was allegedly impotent.

“The lifeless body of a 22 years old NCE graduate, Idris Shuaib, was discovered dangling on a cashew tree. He reportedly hanged himself over his inability to copulate or sleep with women. According to the uncle of the deceased, Idris left home early on Thursday telling his father that he wanted to go to the farm as his usual routine not knowing that he had another motive this time round,” the statement partly read.
The NSCDC spokesman said that the remains of late Idris were brought down from the tree and taken to the hospital for autopsy by officers of the corps.
