The
teenager was said to have ended her life out of frustration, due to abandonment
and the suffering she has been subjected to since the birth of her baby.
A
19-year-old mother of a 2-year-old baby girl reportedly killed herself by
drinking insecticide in Kabayi area of Mararaba, near Abuja, the Federal
Capital Territory (FCT).
It was
gathered by Daily Trust that the deceased got pregnant when she was
17-years-old and the father of the baby absconded, disappearing into thin air.
After
being rejected everywhere, she had gone to her mother, who she used to help
hawk before she became pregnant for help, but her mother also rejected.
Out of
frustration, she bought a bottle of insecticide known as ‘SNIPER’ which she
allegedly consumed.
Her
lifeless body was found in the street near a church at Kabayi by passers-by and
residents who were attracted by the continuous cry of her baby. The little baby
sat beside the mother’s lifeless body and crying helplessly.
Also
found beside the deceased was an empty container of the insecticide and a
sachet of pure water.
The
matter was reported to the police who arrived at the scene and took away the
corpse and then handed over the baby to the mother of the deceased.
Confirming
the incident, a police at the ‘A’ Division Police Station at Mararaba, where
the case was reported said they suspect she committed suicide, adding that
investigation is ongoing.
