Thu Jul 08 2021 A 20-year-old man in Kano State has set himself ablaze after his effort to raise money to pay for his Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) organised by the National Examination Council (NECO) failed. The incident happened last week Tuesday in Garo town of Kabo Local Government Area of the state. Reports said the man, identified as Danladi Shu’aib, had previously written the exams three times but failed all attempts, while this year he could not even raise the money to register for the exam. A resident of the area, Ya’u Ahmad Garo, confirmed to Daily Trust that late Danladi had on many occasions threatened to commit suicide if he failed to write the exam because he wanted to further his studies, but that nobody took the threats serious.
