POS operator attempts suicide over N1.7m debt

In a distressing incident in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State, a POS operator named Umar Usman resorted to consuming a locally made insecticide on Monday in an apparent suicide attempt due to a debt amounting to N1.7 million.

Umar, hailing from Yola South LGA, ingested the toxic substance known as Otapiapia while appearing in court at the Upper Area Court I in Yola. He was brought before the court following a criminal complaint filed by his friend, Mustapha Baraya, concerning the outstanding debt.

Earlier this year, on February 13, Umar’s friend from the same community lodged a lawsuit against him, accusing him of “criminal misappropriation and breach of trust.”

According to the case history, Baraya had provided Umar with a sum of N1.9 million for operating a POS business. However, Umar allegedly misappropriated the funds and only returned N150,000.

Despite the complainant’s attempts to recover the remaining balance of N1.760 million, Umar and his father continuously deceived him even after the court had issued a judgment.
