26-Year-Old Delta State Student Commits Suicide After Boyfriend Calls Off Relationship

Pandemonium and tears at the weekend enveloped Abraka
community in Delta State when a 26-year-old microbiology student of the
State-owned University (DELSU) identified as Evelyn Mogekwu allegedly committed
suicide after being jilted by her fiance.

Reports said the end of the seven-year relationship
traumatised the girl as all plans to walk down the aisle failed to materialise.

Sources said the girl was in high spirits in her hostel but
her mood changed dramatically and she became dejected after her fiance called
her on phone to declare their relationship over.

She was said to have bought some drugs, claiming she was
having a head ache and went into her room, leaving a message for roommate that
they might not see her again.

Few minutes later, her roommate who sensed something
terrible was going on, raced into the room and found her lying lifeless on
ground. The roommate then raised an alarm that attracted other students to the room, but
before help came the girl’s way, she had given up the ghost.

Confirming her death, some senior police officers at the
Abraka Police Division, who did not want their names in print, said they
recovered particles of drugs on the ground beside the deceased, adding that her
roommate is currently being detained for interrogation.
