Faruk, who appeared in court with a bottle of rat poison hidden in his pocket, took it and slumped instantly before the judge in court premises.

Faruk a resident of Yola South LGA, was sued by his friend, Mustapha Baraya, over the said money, after frantic efforts made to recover the money proved abortive.

Baraya was said to loaned the deceased over N1.9m to operate POS business, however, misappropriated the fund and refunded the sum of N150,000 only on instalmental basis.

Baraya’s efforts to recover the remaining N1.7m balance was not successful as Umar and his father kept deceiving him even after the judgment was delivered by the court.

The court has earlier ruled that the deceased refund the money within one month but to no avail.

The defendant and his father informed the court, that they had a rice farm which was ready for harvest, and that after the harvest they will refund the money.

The defendant and his father secretly went and harvested the crop without the knowledge of the court and refused refunding the said money.

The court then enforced its judgement ordering Umar’s house which was given to him by his father be disposed.

The house was sold for N1.1million to raise the money in order to refund it in compliance with the order.

After taking the poison, the deceased instantly slumped down and was rushed to Special Hospital Yola for medical attention where he was pronounced dead.
