Confirming the incident, a family member who pleaded anonymity said;

“The two of them (husband and wife) actually had a minor issue over a measurement of rice.

When she was trying to prepare food in the morning, the husband only advised her to measure just two cups because the food was meant for her and the kid, meaning that he (husband) would not eat out of it, but she got angry.

So, to avoid crisis, the husband left home immediately. She prepared the food and took the kid to school. She took insecticide after she came back and nobody knew.”

she suddenly became weak and started vomiting. After we discovered that, we then called her husband, who had already left home on the phone, to come back.

“We quickly rushed her to a nearby hospital before she was transferred to another hospital at Orogun community in this Akinyele Local Government. She eventually gave up the ghost and we buried her yesterday (Tuesday).”

As of the time of filing this report, the spokesperson of the state police command could not be reached.
