A 28-year-old man, Mubarak Hamisu, has allegedly committed su!cide in Gyadi-Gyadi area of Tarauni Local Government Area of Kano State. His lifeless body was found hanging from a tree on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. The spokesperson for the police in the state, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, who confirmed the development to Daily Trust on Wednesday, February 11, said the command has commenced an investigation into the incident. He said the report was received from the Divisional Police Officer in Tarauni at about 6:10 a.m. following information from residents of Jaoji Quarters, Gyadi-Gyadi. According to him, detectives were immediately dispatched to the scene where the victim was found unresponsive in what is suspected to be a case of su!cide. Kiyawa stated that no physical signs of violence were observed on the body. He said the victim was evacuated to Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital, where he was certified d3ad by medical personnel. The PPRO added that the corpse had been released to the family for burial in accordance with Islamic rites. He said investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident has commenced, assuring that further developments would be communicated to the public. Speaking on the development, an uncle to the deceased, Muhammad Ghali Abdulwahab, said, We woke up to the unfortunate incident. I received a call informing me that Dan Kurma had been found hanging, and I immediately rushed to the scene. We took him to the hospital, where he was certified de3d. We later went to the police station to give our statement and then returned home. He was 28 years old. We do not know what exactly happened. “His grandmother said he came home last night with his friends bicycle and later went out. Since then, she had not seen him again until this morning. We cannot say for certain what happened, but we do not believe he took his own life. When we went to the police, they mentioned noticing a mark on his neck and asked whether there had been any previous attempt on his life. We told them we were not aware of anything like that. However, when we prepared his body for burial, we noticed the mark ourselves. One of my brothers said he had seen the mark before. When he asked Dan about it at the time, he refused to explain. It appears there may have been an earlier incident involving him. For now, we are not suspecting anyone. We are cooperating with the security agencies as investigations continue to determine what truly happened.”
