The deceased has been identified as Mohammed, who is known to his friends as Zanjina and said to have hailed from Baayanwaya in Tamale.
An eyewitness at the scene who claimed to be a friend of the deceased alleged that Mohammed once suffered mental unstableness after having lost riches he made out of an internet scam but later regained his senses.
As to what may have led to Mohammed committing suicide, his friends and family couldn't readily tell.
