Woman commits suicide over an argument with husband in Igando

The wife of a Naval Rating committed
suicide over a misunderstanding with her
husband at Igando area of Lagos State.
The deceased, Mrs Omojoye, reportedly left
home on Sunday, saying she was going to
church.
Apprehension set in when she did not return
home. Her husband, Seaman Band Omojoye,
reportedly went to the church, only to be told
that his wife did not come to the church.
Efforts to reach her on her phone failed until
yesterday, when she came home looking ruffled,
saying she was kidnapped.
Neighbours said that her husband disbelieved
her, insisting that she was lying. It was learned
that an argument ensued, during which she was
said to have gone inside their room and
swallowed insecticide.
Apparently thinking she was pretending 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.”
