The young man, Basit Abdulai, was alleged to have died from an alcohol hangover when he was found dead on Friday 10 September at a construction site. His body was full of alcohol which forced many to think he was drunk, and that made him hit his head on something at the construction site.
He was not drunk, his body might have been smelling alcohol but his internal organs had no alcohol in them. We suspect a foul play death, the postmortem report said further. The family of Basit, was rest assured their son didn’t die of alcohol and forced his body into the Goaso pathology department to be examined when many argued it was alcohol that killed him.
My son cannot die from alcohol, he is not like that. I know him, he is my son, I am her mother so when I say he didn’t die of alcohol, I mean he didn’t die of alcohol, the mother Safira Abdulai said in tears as she praised doctors for bringing her good news. My son was murdered, he was murdered for no reason, police help me, as the woman embraced the Mim Officer in charge, Addae Joseph.
