Man Kills Himself After Stabbing Father

Reports from Zaria, Kaduna State have revealed that one Chikudi Gideon has killed himself after allegedly stabbing his father with a knife.

Gideon, who lived in Wusasa, Zaria with his parents was said to have killed himself after he jumped from the Dan Magaji flyover and broke his head.

Confirming the incident, the head of Wusasa, Engineer Isiyaku Yusuf said, “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 mingled 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, Gideon Tseja, 75, was lying in a pool of blood.

"Therefore, people concluded that it was after he finished stabbing the father that he went to kill himself."

According to Daily Trust, Yusuf explained that the injured father, Tseja, was a lecturer at ABU, adding that he had been admitted to a hospital.

The Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Jalinge is yet to make comments on the matter.
