A
mother of two unemployed graduates, whose name was given as Uzoaku, on Saturday
hanged herself in Mgbakwu, in the Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra
State.
It
was gathered that the 66-year-old woman had complained to some people that she
was angry that her two children, who graduated some years back, had not got any
job.
A
villager, Uche Aniuno, said, “I saw her about four days ago. She expressed
bitterness over the unemployment situation of her two children who graduated
some years back. But I didn’t know that could lead her to this situation.
“She
was a hard-working woman and I won’t say she was poor. One of her daughters is
married with children. We are all surprised that she ended this way.”
But
the younger brother of the deceased, Fredrick Nwenu, told some journalists that
his sister had no reason to take her life.
Nwenu,
who said he accommodated her late sister for some time, said the news came to
him as a shock.
He
said, “My sister had no reason to do this, having trained her two children to
university level.
“She
had two children who are university graduates. Her daughter is happily married
with kids. So, she had no reason whatsoever to commit suicide.”
The
community was thrown into mourning when the news of the suicide spread, as many
described her as an industrious woman.
It
was gathered that the deceased hanged herself with a rope which she tied to the
burglary-proof bars of the window in her room.
