In Enugu state, an unidentified mother of three little children has allegedly taken her own life.
The devastating event unfolded as the woman, reportedly grappling with the weight of financial difficulties and the recent departure of her husband, ran into a moving vehicle and lost her life instantly.
The tragic incident occurred last weekend in front of Ogui Police Station in Enugu. Sources indicate that the woman, whose identity is not yet known, was believed to be suffering from depression. Following her husband's departure, she dropped off her three young children at the police station, removed her clothes, and ran naked into the path of a moving vehicle, resulting in a fatal collision.
The eldest child, when questioned by authorities, could only provide limited information, stating that their father had "got lost." The child was unable to provide additional details about their family, town, or residential address, adding a layer of mystery to the unfolding tragedy.
Amidst the sorrowful turn of events, the wife of the Enugu State governor, Mrs. Nkechinyere Mbah, has stepped in to offer support. She announced the sponsorship of a scholarship for the three siblings, all under seven years of age, who lost their parents in these mysterious and distressing circumstances.
Mrs. Mbah made this compassionate gesture known during an unscheduled visit to Ogui Police Station in Enugu, where the children are currently under police custody. The tragic incident highlights the fragility of mental health, financial struggles, and the far-reaching impact of such crises on families. As the community mourns the loss of a mother, the supportive actions of Mrs. Mbah offer a glimmer of hope for the surviving children amid these dark times.
