A middle aged mother of one identified as Ometere Aduga, a 300-level medical student drop-out, has reportedly committed s*****e by hanging herself with a rope tied to the ceiling fan in their family home at Igarra,
the administrative headquarters of Akoko-Edo Local Government area of Edo State, southern Nigeria.
She was said to have hanged herself with the aid of a stool in the room before kicking the stool with her legs.
The deceased whose husband was said not be resident in the state, was said to be two months pregnant for a yet to be identified person.HUH?
It was alleged that the victim had, few days before the incident, visited a private hospital in the town where she was said to have told the hospital personnel of her intention to commit s*****e because of the alleged pregnancy.
Consequently, she was said to have been counselled against it and told to report back on Monday for medical examination and further counselling.
Rather than report at the hospital on Monday, the victim was said to have dropped her son with a neighbour with the excuse that she was going to have her bath.
After waiting endlessly, the unsuspecting neighbour reportedly went into the victim’s apartment only to find her completely n***d body dangling from a rope tied to the ceiling fan.
“Ometere was a very brilliant girl who was a 300 level medical student at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma but she was advised to withdraw due to health reasons. She had some mental disorder. She later recovered and got married. Her husband is not from here and she has been staying with her parents.
“One cannot really say what could have led to her committing s*****e whether it was as a result of the pregnancy or a relapse of her mental illness,” a family source said.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Igarra, Hilary Udoh, who confirmed the incident, said: “yes it is true but the parents said it has happened and they have taken it in good faith. They are not suspecting any foul play.”
