According to his family, Sulaiman had been under mental distress for a prolonged period over financial disputes and outstanding payments related to his business. At some point on Sunday evening, he was found hanging in a room of the house.
Before his death, Sulaiman reportedly made a post from his personal Facebook account. In the post, he shared photographs of two individuals and accused them of fraud and misappropriating a large amount of money in connection with his travel business.
