A 26-year-old National Youth Service Corp member, simply identified as
Ernest, has committed suicide after being jilted by his girlfriend,
Chioma Okewuru, who is also a corps member. Vanguard Newspaper
reports
The two corps members met and fell in love while serving in Redemption
Secondary School, Ofombogha 1 in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross
Rivers State. Vanguard Newspaper reports that the deceased, a graduate
of the University of Benin, went berserk when the lady came back from
her village over the weekend with a ring from a man she had promised
to marry.
Mr. Noah Ntuen, Acting Divisional Police Officer for Obubra confirmed
the incident saying "the girl had told the guy that she would not
marry him, but that they could be friends. So when she came back from
home last weekend and showed him the ring her husband-to-be gave her,
the young man became furious.
"On Wednesday, the situation became worse and at about 7pm, he locked
himself in the room and took some poisonous substances." "They met at
the NYSC Orientation Camp at Abrekpe-Ebokpo and as luck would have it,
they were both posted to the same school where they had a relationship
going. "He had the hope the whole thing would end in marriage, but
Chioma already had another person she wants to marry."
