Nigerian woman allegedly commits suicide over failed marriage

Margaret Oyibo Atayi, a Nigerian woman, is said to have killed herself as a result of her unhappy marriage. After her family reported her missing, the mother of two from Benue State's Ugbokolo Local Government Area was discovered dead three days later. On Friday, May 17, 2024, about three in the morning, she was last seen in the vicinity of City College of Education, Abacha Road, Mararaba, Nasarawa State. Since then, all attempts to find her have been unsuccessful. On Monday, May 20, her sister Ochanya Chelle revealed that she had been found dead. Her father, Mr. Patrick Atayi, claims that she killed herself after experiencing a marriage crisis-related despair.

“Margaret was a mother of two children. She has been in depression for some time now due to mistreatment by her husband," he explained. 

“She went out on that fateful Friday morning by 3am without the knowledge of anybody. Her body was discovered in the late hours of Monday, and every available evidence confirmed that she committed suicide.”

A close source who confirmed the incident to Idoma Voice Newspaper said; “This is very unfortunate. In an effort to search for her, I reached out to her father and discovered that she was a mother of two children and that she went into depression for some time, which led to her going out that Friday night at 3 am without anyone’s knowledge, resulting in this unfortunate incident. Please, no one should die in silence, no matter the situation you find yourself in. Please speak out; you could be helped and overcome it. Nothing is worth taking your life for or dying for. Above all, embrace God and enjoy the peace of God."
