A graduate of economics from the University of Benin, identified as Egoli (surname withheld) has allegedly committed suicide in Asaba Community Delta State.
According to a Leadership report, Egoli had introduced her fiancé to her parents three years ago.
When it became obvious that he had married another girl in Lagos and was not going to marry her, she allegedly took her life.
The incident, which happened on April 13, Monday, left the community in shock.
One of her family members, Mrs. Mabel Egbeide, said the deceased had complained bitterly about the story of the fiancé marrying another girl in Lagos but her fears were dismissed before she took her life.
It was gathered from some other sources that her fiancé, a Lagos based businessman, was relieved of his job after the girl had introduced him to her parents.
He then returned to Lagos where he had stayed all this while before reportedly taking another girl for a wife.
Confirming the incident, the police public relations officer in the state, DSP Celestina Kalu said she was found dead in her room the following day after she and her parents had retired to sleep, with traces of drugs found on her.
She added that they have sent the girl’s body for an autopsy.
