“I want four children” – IMSU student says, days before stabbing boyfriend, killing herself
Agomuo Jennifer had on November 15 expressed her desire to have four children of her own, unaware that she would, herself, end that dream of blissful motherhood just days after.
The final year student of Imo State University is reported to have committed suicide on Wednesday, after driving a knife through her boyfriend, Davis Uzoechi.
The young couple, reports say, had become estranged after he broke up with her over unknown issues. Davis’ attempt to recover some of the valuables he had given her out of love led to the ugly incident.
He was said to have stormed Jennifer’s hostel, Joe Tony hostel, to demand a return of his gifts when tempers flared. She reportedly stabbed him and left him battling for his life. Apparently out of fear of the consequences of her action, Jennifer reportedly gulped poison.
According to reports, it wasn’t until neighbours broke into the room that they found the lovers sprawling lifeless on the floor.
Jennifer was reportedly confirmed dead at FMC, Owerri, while Davis has a slight chance for survival.
The 400 Level Computer Science student had only disagreed with the outcome of a Facebook game last Thursday about the number of children she wished to have.
“What’s up with Facebook and giving me two children Biko nu (sic)…. Me want four o (sic), they should not come and put too much pepper inside my stew,” she wrote in reaction to the outcome of the game.
Quite strangely, she had also laughed off an outcome of another game on the social app that implied she was not temperamental.
“I laugh in Igbo language… These people don’t know me,” Jennifer said in response to the result of the game that read: “You are 0% mean… you don’t have a mean bone in your body.”
Friends and sympathisers have flocked Jennifer’s page to express shock at the ugly incident.
“We were joking just five days ago. I’m so heartbroken,” one of her friends said.
Police have yet to release any statement on the incident.
