A teenage girl has reportedly committed suicide in Delta State after she was reprimanded for staying out late.

According to Harrison Essien, a correspondent with Akwa Ibom State Broadcasting Corporation, 15-year-old Oghenevwede Michael swallowed insecticide because he parents reprimanded her.

Wuzup Naija gathered that the deceased, a Junior Secondary School 2 student, got her parents angry after she left home for extramural classes and was supposed to be home at 6 pm but did not return home until 9 pm.

“She was supposed to close by 6 pm, but Vwede never came home until 9pm, a situation that even made us look for her. When she came that night everyone was angry with her, her mother chided her and her elder brother threatened to beat her” a source who claimed to be a family member to the Michael’s said.

The teenager was said to have gone to bed in tears that night and was believed to have drunk the insecticide in the morning.

“No one knew what she had done that morning, not until she began to complain of severe stomach ache, that was when her mother perceived the smell of insecticide from her mouth and raised alarm.

She was later rushed to the Sapele Central Hospital, where she was referred to a private clinic in town where she died this afternoon,” the source said.

The remains of the deceased have been handed over to her family for burial, while a source at the Sapele Police Station who craved anonymity, said the case was not reported at the station.
