A mother of three children has reportedly committed suicide in Enugu State over the economic hardship and rising cost of living in the country.
According PUNCH Metro, the incident happened on Saturday March 2nd, 2024.
The woman, whose identity was yet to be ascertained, had gone to the Ogui Police Station in the Enugu North Local Government Area of the state and reportedly dropped her three children without leaving a word with anyone.
The middle-aged woman, who was said to have become depressed over the current high cost of living in the country, reportedly stripped herself naked, came out of the station situated along Ogui Road and ran into a moving vehicle which instantly crushed her to death, leaving behind three children who are all below six years.
Meanwhile, the wife of Enugu State governor, Mrs. Nkechinyere Mbah, has undertaken to sponsor the children’s living and education.
Mbah’s wife announced the scholarship to be undertaken through her Custos Care Foundation when she paid an unscheduled visit to the Ogui Police Station, where the children were kept in custody.
