petty trader, on Tuesday took her life by hanging herself with rope
tied to a ceiling fan at her residence in 1, Ukpaka lane, Umusiome
village, Nkpor-agu near Onitsha in
Anambra state.
Okechukwu Odo, the husband of the deceased, said he and Lovina
had been married for over
eight years without a child.
Odo, a car washer, said he
returned home from work
around 6:30pm and met
sympathisers around his one- room apartment.
"I left home for work that
morning after taking my
breakfast; she had asked that I buy a tuber of yam for dinner when I
return," he said.
"When I returned, I saw
people gathered around my apartment only to be told that my wife had
killed herself."
Odo said he and the deceased had no misunderstanding that
could have led her to commit suicide.
Hassan Musa, divisional police officer (DPO) of Ogidi, confirmed the
story to NAN, saying the corpse of Lovina had been removed and
deposited at the Mortuary of Iyienu Mission Hospital.
"No suicide note was seen
around her but preliminary
investigation reveals that she might have committed
suicide because she had no
child," Musa said.
