A trader, Funmilola Adeodu, has committed suicide in Ilogbo-Eremi, in the Morogbo area of Lagos State.
The 28-year-old mother of two was said to have taken a local insecticide, Sniper, to spite her mother, Ifatunmibi Adegbenle, for allegedly maltreating her niece, Rachael Balogun.
The deceasedโs husband, Samuel Adeodu, toldย PUNCH Metroย that Ifatunmibi always fought his wife for indulging Rachaelโs bad behaviour.
Rachael was said to be living with Ifatunmibi, but usually ran to Funmilolaโs house anytime she was beaten for misbehaving.
Samuel said, โMy wife and I had no fight. In fact, we woke up on the same bed on Friday, October 26, when this incident happened. The issue was among my wife, her mother and the niece.
