James’ father, Chief Samuel who is the Tiv community leader in Gurku, reportedly wept profusely when he arrived the scene of the incident with his other children.

Speaking about his deceased son, Chief Samuel said;

“My late son attended Government Secondary school Gurku, he was a farmer, welder and a traditional drummer,”

“He was popular among his peers. He is a Tiv, but understands Gbagyi, Jaba, Hausa and Gwandara tribes. I learnt that this is the first suicide in the history of Gurku land and that it is taboo here.” he added.
