I Can’t Live Again’: 22-Year-Old Hairdresser Commits Suicide After Heartbreak in Enugu
Tragedy struck in Enugu over the weekend as a 22-year-old hairdresser, Miss Odama Mary Agado, allegedly took her own life after discovering her boyfriend with another woman.
Mary, who hailed from Woleche-Ipuole in Yahe Ward, Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State, reportedly ingested a poisonous substance suspected to be sniper shortly after the heartbreaking discovery.
According to sources, the deceased had been doing well in her hairdressing business in Enugu. She had recently bought a car and even rented an apartment for her boyfriend, whom she was deeply in love with.
A family source, identified as Daniel, said Mary 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 narrated what happened. She also told her mother to take whatever happened in good faith, saying she would not live again,” Daniel recounted.
He added that Mary’s mother, who reportedly had no airtime to call her back, did not raise any alarm until she later received a call informing her that her daughter had allegedly drunk sniper and had been rushed to the hospital.
Despite doctors’ efforts, Mary was confirmed dead later that evening. Her body was subsequently taken to her hometown in Yala, where she was buried the next day.
“Immediately the body arrived, we dug a grave and buried her because she was too young to be kept for a full customary burial ceremony,” Daniel explained.
The family, however, did not report the matter to the police, insisting that she took her own life.
“We are at a loss as to why she should take such an action over a boyfriend. Some people believe she was spiritually manipulated, but whatever it was, no amount of blame will bring her back,” Daniel added sadly.
