A 20-year-old man has set himself ablaze after all his efforts to raise the money to pay for his Secondary School Leaving Certificate Examination (SSCE) organised by the National Examination Council (NECO), failed.
Globalreport Media Tentacles gathered through Daily Trust that the incident happened last week Tuesday in Garo town of Kabo Local Government Area in Kano State.
Reports said the youth, who was identified as Danladi Shu’aib, had written the exams three times but failed all but he could not raise the money to register for the exam this year.
A resident of the area, Ya’u Ahmad Garo, confirmed to Daily Trust that late Danladi had on various occasions threatened to commit suicide if he failed to write the exam because of his ambition to further his studies, but that nobody took the threat seriously.
He also explained that Shu’aib was later taken to the hospital after setting himself ablaze, but died two days later.
