Sunday, October 19, 2025 - A 22-year-old lady, Miss Odama Mary Agado, has reportedly taken her own life after discovering her boyfriend was having an affair with another woman in Enugu, the Enugu State capital.
Vanguard reports that Mary, who hailed from Woleche-Ipuole
in Yahe Ward, Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State, was said to have
ingested a poisonous substance suspected to be sniper after the heartbreaking
incident.
Sources said the deceased, a hairstylist based in Enugu, had
been doing well in her business and had recently bought a car and rented an
apartment for her boyfriend.
According to a family source identified as Daniel, the young
woman became distraught after visiting her boyfriend last Friday only to find
him with another lady in the apartment she had rented for him.
“She became
very angry and left for her own apartment. There, she called her mother and
told her what happened. She also said her mother should take whatever happened
in good faith, that she wouldn’t live again” Daniel said
The family source further mentioned that Mary’s mother, who
reportedly had no airtime to call her back, did not raise an alarm or alert
neighbours until she later received a call that her daughter had taken a
poisonous substance and was rushed to the hospital.
Efforts by doctors to save her life reportedly failed, and
she was confirmed dead later that evening. Her body was taken to her village in
Yala, where she was buried on Saturday.
“Immediately
the body arrived, we dug a grave and buried her because she was too young to be
kept for a customary burial ceremony. We are at a loss as to why she should
take such action over a boyfriend. Some people say she was spiritually
manipulated, but whatever it was, no blame game will bring her back,” Daniel
said
The family did not report the matter to the police,
insisting that she took her own life.
