A 24-year-old Nigerian lady named Jemima Shetima Balami, enrolled in the Diploma in Mass Communication program at Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, tragically took her own life by ingesting poison following a distressing breakup with her boyfriend.
The heart-wrenching incident unfolded after her boyfriend, a lecturer at Modibbo Adama University in Yola, conveyed the abrupt termination of their relationship to Jemima, sending shockwaves through her life.
Hailing from Garkida in the Gombi Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Jemima was undergoing her industrial attachment with Adamawa State Television at the time of the incident.
Regrettably, the young lady met her untimely demise at her residence in Vinikilang, a riverside community near the state capital, Yola.
In a devastating turn of events, it was revealed that Jemima was the only daughter of her father, intensifying the grief surrounding her tragic end.
The father of the deceased reported the distressing incident to the authorities, and according to the Police Public Relations Officer in Adamawa, SP Suleiman Nguroje, Jemima had taken a lethal substance, leading to her demise.
"The father of Jamima reported that she committed suicide by taking a deadly substance. Another version had it that she visited her boyfriend, a lecturer at Modibbo Adama University, Yola, and was told to quit the relationship. Angered by the news of exiting her boyfriend, the deceased took poison," SP Suleiman Nguroje disclosed.
