22-Year-Old Hairstylist Ends Life In Enugu After Catching Boyfriend Cheating
A 22-year-old hairstylist identified as Miss Odama Mary Agado has reportedly taken her own life after catching her boyfriend with another woman in Enugu, the Enugu State capital.
Mary, who hailed from Woleche-Ipuole in Yahe Ward, Yala Local Government Area of Cross River State, was said to have ingested a poisonous substance suspected to be sniper shortly after the heartbreaking discovery.
Family sources revealed that Mary had been doing well in her hairstyling business and had recently bought a car and rented an apartment for her boyfriend.

According to a family member, Daniel, the tragedy occurred after Mary unexpectedly visited her boyfriend last Friday and found him with another lady.
“She became very angry and left for her own apartment. There, she called her mother and told her what happened. She also said her mother should take whatever happened in good faith, that she wouldn’t live again,” Daniel said.
He added that Mary’s mother, who reportedly had no airtime to call her back, did not raise an alarm until she later received a call that her daughter had drunk poison and was rushed to the hospital.
Despite doctors’ efforts, Mary was pronounced dead that evening. Her body was later taken to her village in Yala, Cross River State, where she was buried immediately.
“Immediately the body arrived, we dug a grave and buried her because she was too young to be kept for a customary burial ceremony,” Daniel explained.
The family chose not to involve the police, insisting that she acted alone.
“We are at a loss as to why she should take such action over a boyfriend. Some people say she was spiritually manipulated, but whatever it was, no blame game will bring her back,” Daniel lamented.
