Asa Ilorin, Kwara State,
identified simply as Kemi,
has committed suicide
after an alleged
uncomplimentary
comment from her mother,
also identified simply as
Mummy Kemi.
Our correspondent
gathered on Sunday that
Kemi, 21, who lived with
her parents poisoned
herself with a locally-
made rat poison otherwise
known as sole lasan.
A source said that Kemi
and her mother had a
misunderstanding on
Friday night. It was said
that in the course of the
altercation, Mummy Kemi
told her daughter that she
was "a complete failure
and a disgrace to this
family."
The lady, who was said to
have been angered over
her mother's
uncomplimentary
comment, went into her
room.
It was said that her
mother, after the quarrel,
went to her grinding
machine shop which was
nearby.
The source said, "When
Mummy Kemi came in
about 30 minutes later, she
saw that kemi was
writhing in pains. She was
said to have raised the
alarm."
PUNCH Metro learnt that
suspecting that the lady
had taken some poison,
sympathisers rushed her to
a nearby hospital for
medical treatment.
The hospital officials were
said to have advised them
to go to the University of
Ilorin Teaching Hospital.
She, however, died before
she could be taken to the
hospital.
The state command's Police
Public Relations Officer,
Mr. Olufemi Fabode, could
not be reached as his
telephone number
indicated that his number
was not available.
