Mr. John Achagwa, the Chief Steward to the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima has allegedly committed suicide at the Presidential Lodge in the state’s Government House in Maiduguri.
The Chief Steward was said to have greeted his colleagues at the lodge at about 1: 44 pm on Tuesday before he went back and climbed a tree behind the lodge and hung himself.
Speaking with reporters shortly after the unfortunate incident, a close associate of Achagwa said the deceased had been complaining about the attitude of his daughter who he said was going to cause his untimely death.
”He came and asked me to delete someone’s number from his phone. I told him I don’t know how to delete it. He left angrily only for me to hear that he has hanged himself after some few minutes,” the associate said.
An indigene of of Dille in Askira Uba Local Government Area of the state, Achagwa retired from the civil service about three years ago but was retained by Governor Shettima due to his exceptional performance as a cook.
