An 85-year-old woman identified as Malama Salamatu Hassan of Jar-Kuka village in Gezawa Local Government area of Kano State on Sunday allegedly hanged herself on a tree.


An eyewitness toldPunch that the lifeless body of the woman, a mother of six, was found dangling on a tree a few meters away from the village in the early hours of Sunday.

Her grandson, Muhammad Ibrahim, told newsmen in Kano yesterday that the late Salamu was earlier missing for two days before her life-less body was found on the tree.
