A 30-year-old woman, identified as Abigail Adebayo,
has reportedly taken her own life in the Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State
following alleged opposition to her planned marriage by her fiancé’s family.
According to reports, Abigail had been in a
relationship with one Oniga Abiola since September 2025, and the couple had
made plans to get married.
Trouble reportedly began about two weeks ago
when Abiola’s mother asked her son to formally introduce the woman he intended
to marry. Upon learning that Abigail had three children from a previous
relationship, she was said to have opposed the union and later informed her
eldest son, who also disapproved of the marriage.
Abigail was later found unresponsive in her
room and was rushed to the General Hospital in Ijebu-Ode, where medical
personnel confirmed her dead on arrival.
Abiola reportedly informed the Atan Ijebu
Division of the Ogun State Police Command, stating that Abigail had ingested
insecticide.
Police sources disclosed that detectives who
visited the scene and examined the body at the hospital observed no visible
signs of violence. Authorities say investigations into the incident are
ongoing.
If you or someone you know is struggling with
emotional distress or thoughts of self-harm, it is important to seek immediate
help from trusted family members, community leaders, or medical professionals.
Support is available, and speaking to someone can make a difference.
