Lady poisons self after boyfriend ends their four year relationship

Less that 24 hours of returning from her lover’s house where she had her weekend, Tawa Oshunuga, a make-up artiste has thrown her family members into an unrecoverable shock as she poisoned herself to death.

Oshunuga was alleged to have received a call in which her lover of four years called off their relationship. The deceased, according to eye witnesses, was with her friends when the call came in.

The eyewitness, who preferred to be anonymous said, “Oshunuga excused herself from her friends to pick the call. After that phone call, nobody was precisely sure of what happened.

“The next thing that happened was that, Oshunuga bought a Snipper, a local insecticide, drank it and started struggling with her life.”

“Oshunuga was with her boyfriend throughout Saturday and Sunday. When she returned from her guy’s place on Sunday, she didn’t go straight home. She came to play with us. We joked with her that she had gone to satisfy herself. We told her to go home and see her mother. Her mother had already come to ask about her from us. The mother knew we were close friends in the community. But we didn’t tell her that Oshunuga went to her boyfriend’s house. The mother needed Oshunuga on that Sunday to assist her in the market.” One of her friends simply identified as Adekunle said.

Adekunle further revealed that Oshunuga was still playing with her friends on when she received the phone call from her lover. “Immediately she received the call, her mood and countenance changed.”

According to Adekunle, she told her friends that she was going back to her lover’ place. It was believed that she went home after leaving her lover’s place.

Adekunle said, “We gathered that when she got home, her mother was already in the market. It was after she drank the snipper that she called her mother to come home quickly. She told her mother she was feeling serious stomach pains.

“When her mother got home, Tawa was on the floor, writhing in pains. The mother immediately called some of their neighbours and they rushed her to a private hospital.”

Another friend, Jummy added, “It was in the process of trying to take her to hospital, we discovered a bottle of sniper beside her. It was then people realized that she poisoned herself. At the hospital, doctor referred her to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. That was how we lost our friend.”
