A Nigerian woman, Margaret Oyibo Atayi, has reportedly ended it all over her failed marriage. Margaret, an Idoma girl from Ugbokolo, Okpokwu LGA of Benue State, North central Nigeria, was last seen around City College of Education in Mararaba, Nasarawa state, at about 3am on Friday, May 17.
Confirming her death, the bereaved father, Mr Atayi, said, “Margaret was a mother of two children. She has been in depression for some time now due to mistreatment by her husband. She went out on that fateful Friday morning by 3am without the knowledge of anybody. Her body was discovered in the late hours of Monday, and every available evidence confirmed that she committed suicide.
Her sister, Stella Ameh, while replying to a comment on Facebook said: “Yes, she went into depression, left her parents’ house for an unknown destination the day she went missing, and she was found dead after taking her own life. And her ordeal was caused by the Orokam man that she got married to, whose first wife died in the same fate.
It was gathered that Margaret was happily married to her husband from Orokam, Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State, after the death of his first wife, and they were staying abroad with their two kids before her husband later relocated her back to Nigeria and abandoned her with her two kids.
She ended it all because she could no longer take care of her kids.
