An eyewitness at the scene who claimed to be a friend of the deceased, alleged that, Mohammed once suffered mental unstableness after haven lost riches he made out of an internet scam but later regained his senses.
As to what may have led to Mohammed committing suicide, his friends and family couldn’t readily tell.

The body was later picked up by the police and deposited at Tamale Teaching Hospital morgue.

tradition demands the body to be buried at the spot where the incident occurred.
