A female friend of the deceased in Jega town, also said
"For some time now, he had been telling me he would kill himself if his financial situation did not improve. But I never believed he meant it. I remember whenever he visited me at Jega, he always lamented over his financial predicament and I would give him some money to transport himself back to Birnin Kebbi and thereafter he would tell me he would kill himself one day if his situation failed to improve. I was shocked when a friend called me from Sokoto that Solomon had killed himself.”

Kebbi State Police Command Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Nafiu Abubakar,  confirmed the incident to newsmen on Tuesday
“Yes, we are aware of the incident. The boy was 29 years old. He committed suicide at Badariya area of Birnin Kebbi" he said.
