A commercial motorcyclist, Ali Harazumi Hamisu, has reportedly
committed suicide after the state government effected a ban on their
operations in the Kano metropolis.
Reports say the deceased had lost his two wives due to his inability
to fend for them after losing his job as a commercial motorcyclist.
The state government had issued a ban on motorcyclists to curb the
incessant attacks by gunmen who operate using these mode of
transportation.
A resident of Jaen Lavin Makera where Hamisu lived spoke on the
incident saying, “We were surprised Hamisu could go to the extent of
taking his own life. He was such a quiet and peace-loving man.
“Things went so bad for him when they banned commercial
motorcyclists. He could not find alternative means of livelihood. He had
been doing menial job to sustain his family. He must have taken that
option out of frustration,” the resident said.
Alhaji Yakubu Hamisu, elder brother of the deceased also said that,
“the late Ali had separated from his wives and was unable to pay for his
house rent owing to the loss of his job. His wives had to divorce him
because he could no longer take care of their needs.”
