Death has been announced of the wife of a Naval rating officer who allegedly committed suicide over a misunderstanding with her husband at Igando area of Lagos State.
NHB gathered that the deceased, one Mrs Omojoye, reportedly left home on Sunday, saying she was going to Church Service.
Apprehension set in when
Her husband, a Seaman Band Omojoye, reportedly went to the Church, only to be told that his wife did not come to the church, same place she had purported that she was going to.
Further efforts to confirm her whereabouts proved abortive until yesterday, when she came home looking distressed and ruffled, saying she was kidnapped.
Neighbours said that her husband disbelieved her, insisting that she was lying.
It was learnt that a sharp argument ensued as a result, during which she was said to have gone inside their room and swallowed some volumes of liquid insecticide.
Apparently thinking she was pretending and faking to be sleeping, her husband ignored her, only to discover later that she was motionless.
'When contacted, the Western Naval Command Information Officer, Lieutenant Commander Chinwe Umar, said the Rating was in police custody, adding that investigations were ongoing.'
Her Lagos State Police Command counterpart, Dolapo Badmus, also confirmed the incident, but could not give further details.
Dolapo said: “I don’t have much information on it, but I can tell you that investigation is ongoing.”
This is sad indeed, may her soul rest in peace.
