A 20-year-old senior secondary
school student, Moji Agboola, died on Wednesday in Omu-Aran, Kwara State, after
taking poison.
The deceased, an SS1 student, died
at Adeyemo Hospital in the town due to complications in her body system as
a result of the poison.
The girl was rushed to the
hospital by her mother, Abigel, about three weeks ago.
The deceased was said to have taken
a poisonous substance after she failed her promotion examination.
“It was the
deceased’s sister who first gave us the clue to her sickness before
she later confessed to the act at the hospital,” Abigel said.
The deceased, according to the News
Agency of Nigeria, was initially taken to Christ Apostolic Church, Ori-Oke
Irapada, along Omu-Aran-Ilofa Road for prayers and deliverance.
The prophet in-charge of the church,
Christopher Owolabi, said a prayer team was quickly organised for the
deceased, before she was taken to the private hospital
for treatment.
It was at the hospital that she was
confirmed dead.
Meanwhile, a middle-age trader,
simply identified as Iya Ayo, was also rushed to Omu-Aran General Hospital on
Wednesday evening, for taking substance believed to be poison.
The mother of two, who lived around
Orolodo area of the town, was said to have complained severally over her
husband’s inability to offset their rent arrears.
A doctor at the hospital, who
preferred anonymity, told NAN at the hospital on Thursday that
the woman was responding to treatment.
