Odo, a car washer, said he returned home from work at about 6:30 p.m. 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.
“When I returned, I saw people gathered around my apartment only to be told that my wife had committed suicide,” he said.
Her husband said he had no misunderstanding with the deceased that could have led her to take her life.

The Divisional Police Officer of Ogidi, CSP Hassan Musa, confirmed the story. He said Lovina’s corpse 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.
