The reports indicates that the young man, who was in love with a fellow NYSC member, Chioma Okewuru, went crazy when the girl came back from her village over the weekend with a ring from a man she had promised to marry.
The deceased, Ernest, from
Edo State and a graduate of the University of Benin, was posted to Cross River
State in October, where he met and fell in love with Chioma, and both were
serving in Redemption Secondary School, Ofombogha 1 in Obubra Local Government
Area of Cross Rivers State.
Mr. Noah Ntuen, Acting
Divisional Police Officer for Obubra disclosed on phone:
“The girl had told the guy
that she would not marry him, but that they could be friends. So when she came
back from home last weekend and showed him the ring her husband-to-be gave her,
the young man became furious.
“On Wednesday, the
situation became worse and at about 7pm, he locked himself in the room and took
some poisonous substances.”
A source in the school told
the media outfit: “They met at the NYSC Orientation Camp at Abrekpe-Ebokpo and
as luck would have it, they were both posted to the same school where they had
a relationship going.
“He had the hope the whole
thing would end in marriage, but Chioma already had another person she wants to
marry.”
Ntuen said the body had
been deposited in the mortuary of Obubra General Hospital, while Chioma is with
the police, where investigations on the circumstances surrounding the tragic
death are in progress.
It would also be recalled
that a 12 year-old girl who was caught watching online pornography by parents
killed herself by jumping from 14th-floor apartment in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The gravity of injustice by those idiot is just too much the authority must make them pay, i remember Baba suwe's saga locked up and ridiculed for nothing.
