A 45-year-old watchman, Sa’idu Babura, was found life less with his body dangling on a tree inside Hassan Primary School, Jalingo.
We gathered that the the deceased had been a drug addict for the past 15 to 16 years of his life.
The late Babura was said to have worked as a watchman at the residence of one Alhaji Ado Mai-Gari Gassol located near the Federal Medical Centre, Jalingo, for the past six years before he recently developed a psychiatric problem due to what is suspected to the result of drug addiction.
It was also gathered that the deceased was admitted at the Psychiatric Unit of the Jalingo Specialist Hospital, for three months but later escaped from there to resume his drug habit.
Although the late Babura’s master was not in town when the incident occured, his brother, one Alhaji Musa who decried the ugly incident, said the deceased had a few days ago, carried a knife and chased people round the whole place.
“We eventually succeeded in collecting the knife from him and I sent him away and warned him not to enter this house again because his actions were as a result of drug addiction,” Musa said.
