A student of Junior Secondary School, Bwari, Abuja has committed
suicide after her elder brother made the discovery and reprimanded her
for being pregnant.
According to her bereaved father, Malam Usman Danladi, a
businessman who resides with his family at Kuchi Kon Bwari, a suburb in
the area council, the death of his daughter is disturbing and worrisome.
It was gathered that the teenager had gotten herself pregnant, an
action that threw the family into confusion and while they all
reprimanded her, she locked herself in a store and killed herself.
The elder brother, Kabiru, narrated that he had summoned his mother
and the eldest sister, Khadija to talk to the deceased when the
realised she was pregnant out of wedlock.
“On getting home, I met my sister Aisha, kneeling down in front
of my mum and elder sister and crying. I asked what the problem was and
my mother told me that my sister Aisha was pregnant. I became furious
and started beating her.
"She stood up and ran to the store where we keep our farm tools
and locked the door. I knocked on the door but she refused to open it. I
became agitated and forced the door open only to find Aisha’s lifeless
body on the floor, foaming coming from her mouth.
"We immediately took her to the hospital only for the doctor to tell us that she died before getting to the hospital."
The 17-year-old's mother said she wouldn't cry for the dead child because she brought disgrace and shame to the family.
