Final year university student attempts suicide over inability to marry Buhari;s daughter, Hanan

The Kano State Police Command on Friday, stopped a final year student of Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano, Abba Ahmed, from committing suicide over his “Social Media love” for Hanan, President Muhammadu Buhari.

Ahmed, a 22-years-old student of Accounting, in a viral Facebook post haf vowed to commit suicide, if he failed to marry Hanan.

Hanan, however, got married yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

However, it was gathered that the Nigeria Police Force spokesman, Frank Mba, on getting wind of Abba’s post, signalled Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mr Habu Sani, for the immediate invitation of Abba who resides in Kano.

Following Sani’s intervention, Mba was said to have spoken with Abba on phone, advising him on the need to face better goals in future, than to commit suicide over a phantom marriage, borne out of infatuation and social media.

After been counselled by Sani, Abba regretted his action and vowed to pursue his life goals.

Abba also expressed his intention to join the police and serve his country, patriotically.

According to Abba: “I am impressed with the way Mr Frank Mba spoke to me. I also became very sober when the Commissioner of Police, Mr Habu Sani counselled me and urged me to desist from such thinking. The Chief Imam of the Police Command also admonished me.

“I have denounced my earlier intention. I will no longer commit suicide. I will respect myself and wait for a woman I can call my own wife. I love my life now, and I want to live and fulfil my life ambition.”

When asked what attracted him to Hanan Buhari, Abba said, “I loved Hanan because of her beautiful face. I admired her because of the integrity of her father (President Buhari). I also loved her because of the level of her education.”

Abba said he actually made efforts to contact Hanan and her parents through Social Media, where he severally expressed his intention towards Hanan, “but I don’t think she knew I loved her. I tried to inform her, I do not think the message reached her. I also tried sending messages to President Buhari through the Social Media, I do not think he actually got the message.”

Abba who also deals on fabrics and textile materials at the popular Kantin Kwari Textile Market said he is now ready to begin a new life with a woman she can call his own.

He wished Hanan Buhari and her newly wedded husband a happy married life while urging Nigerian youths to invest their time on better things, rather than surfing the Social Media for reasons that are irresponsible.
