A young man, identified as Abba Ahmad, has been dissuaded from committing suicide over his inability to marry President Buhari’s daughter, Hanan.

Abba, 22, who has been thrilled by Hanan’s beauty and educational qualifications, has been sending her marriage proposals via social media.

The 400-level Accounting student of the North West University, Kano said:

I am in love with her (Hanan Buhari) because of her beautiful face, her level of education and integrity of her father (Buhari).

I tried informing her but I don’t know whether the messages got to her.

When asked why he posted about committing suicide if Hanan goes ahead with her marriage to Turad Sha’aban, he said:

I just said it.

Police Commissioner Habu Sani and a Police Imam counselled him. It was further learnt that Police spokesman Frank Mba spoke with Ahmad on telephone for 6 minutes, 6 seconds, convincing him not to commit suicide even if he did not marry the President’s daughter. Mba also reminded Ahmad that his religion preaches against suicide.

The suicidal man thanked the Police after the counselling and also expressed desire to join the Force because of the “friendly manner” the Police treated his case.
