A family source, speaking to Ireporteronline, confirmed that the body of the deceased has been handed over to the family for burial, in accordance with Islamic rites.

“A family of the deceased had raised the alarm that CSC Abdulahi Abdulwahab Magaji, a customs officer serving in Abuja, shot himself in his house at Farm Centre with a pump-action rifle. Police officers dashed to the scene of the incident and took the victim to the hospital, where he was certified dead by the doctor on duty,” the source said.

Reacting to Magaji’s demise, a friend named Lawan Al-Amin Mohammed described him as a pillar of strength, a source of comfort, and a guiding light during his lifetime.

“But beyond his infectious laughter and boundless optimism, Abdul possessed a rare depth of character and integrity that set him apart. He lived his life with purpose and passion, guided by principles of honesty, compassion, and empathy,” Mohammed said.

“He was more than just a friend; Abdul was a brother, a pillar of strength, a source of comfort, and a guiding light in times of darkness. His unwavering support and unconditional love lifted me up when I stumbled, reminding me that I was never alone in my struggles. In his absence, I’m left with a profound sense of loss, a void that can never be filled.

“But as we mourn his passing, let us also celebrate the extraordinary life he lived and the countless lives he touched along the way.

“Abdul’s spirit will live on in the memories we hold dear and the lives he forever changed. Let us honor his legacy by embracing the values he held dear and striving to live our lives with the same grace, dignity, and compassion,” Mohammed concluded.
