Umar, who is from Yola South LGA, made the suicide attempt by drinking the local stuff called Otapiapia, at the Upper Area Court I in Yola where he was arraigned following a criminal complaint by his friend, Mustapha Baraya, over the money.
His friend, of the same community, sued him earlier this year, February 13, on charge of ‘criminal misappropriation and breach of trust’.
The history of the case has it that Baraya gave Umar N1.9 million to operate a POS business but he ‘misappropriated the money’, and refunded only N150,000.
