According to Gumel, the tragic event was brought to light on January 28 around 10:30 am when Abdullahi Abdulsalam of Rijiyar Zaki reported that Nuradeen Shehu, the security guard at the college, was found lifeless, having hanged himself with a rope in a classroom.

Responding swiftly to the report, a team of policemen from Gwale Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), arrived at the scene.
