The Kano State Police Command has rescued 22 year old Abba Ahmed who threatened to commit suicide if Hanan, President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, continued her marriage plans with another.

The Deputy Superintendent Police (DSP) Abdullahi Haruna, told newsmen that a prompt intervention by the force apparently, averted any damage as Ahmed was counselled on the futility of his plan, thereafter, he revoked the suicide mission.

“We were able to invite Abba Ahmed to the police command. He was counselled by the Force PRO, DCP Frank Mba, as well as Kano CP, Habu Sani, and the command’s imam, SP Abdullkadir Haruna, via a virtual session.

“At the end of which he rescinded his earlier decision to hang himself. He regretted his comments that if he did not marry the President’s daughter, Hanan, he would hang himself,” Haruna said.

It was noted that Ahmed, after the counselling said, “I realised that my intention is not healthy. Henceforth, I will never again attempt to find myself in such a situation.”

It will be recalled that Hanan Buhari in a strictly private ceremony on Friday, tied the knot with Turad Sha’a ban at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
