Eight-year-old Girl Commits Suicide in Enugu

“This girl has been staying with us since her father died. I am shocked. I don’t know what to say. Only God knows what happened. She was hale and hearty when I left the house in the morning and I wonder what will make a small girl of eight to commit suicide,” Mr. Ajibo said.

 “I am terribly surprised because I saw that girl playing with other children when I was going to the market in the morning. I wonder what will make a girl of eight to commit suicide.

Another thing that surprise me is that the two legs of the victim were touching the ground, which is not normal when one commits suicide; the legs should be up. I urge the police and relevant security agencies to investigate that alleged suicide. Even the rope on the neck of the victim is not strong enough to kill her.”
