A 35-year-old physically challenged housewife (name
withheld) in Edjeba Street, Warri metropolis, Delta State,
yesterday morning allegedly killed herself following the
defilement of her six-year-old daughter by suspected
rapists.
It was reliably gathered that the woman allegedly
committed suicide by drinking an insecticide poison in
a container popularly called Ango 90 after chasing away
her daughter’s defiler from her room.
Family sources said the physically challenged woman
allegedly committed suicide when her daughter was
defiled by suspected rapists who had earlier burgled her
provision store.
Sources said her husband may have also contributed to
her death as he often brought home his girlfriends who
usually ridiculed her for her predicament.
Unconfirmed sources said the woman had also
allegedly caught her husband in bed with her teenage
daughter from a previous marriage.
The Divisional Police Officer, Daudu Police Station,
Warri, Mr. Chris Akpe, confirmed that the police found
the woman’s body lying on the ground in her room with
a container believed to be insecticide Ango 90.
He said investigation was ongoing.
