Ebonyi student eats poison because female voice answers phone call to boyfriend

A Higher National Diploma student of Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana, Ebonyi State, has committed suicide in Lagos State shortly after her boyfriend broke up with her.

Olivia James took her own life days after her birthday, following a heartbreak.

She had a misunderstanding with Henry her boyfriend, and the suicide note she left behind showed the love gone sour led to her death—by consuming some poisonous substance.

She was found unconscious in her apartment during the weekend by her friends who rushed her to the hospital, but was confirmed dead on arrival.

“She ended her life after her boyfriend ended their relationship. During the course of their misunderstanding, Henry stopped taking her calls; rather an unknown female was the one answering the calls.

“Unable to live with the realisation that the man she spent all her savings on was likely cheating and acting uninterested in their relationship, Olivia took the move of ending her life,” a source said.

“She left a Whatsapp message for one of her friends about taking her life,” a friend of the deceased posted.

Henry has since been o the run.
