Man Commits Suicide In Taraba After Fiancée Returns To Ex-lover

A 31-year-old man identified as Jivini Jonnan, has taken his life after discovering that his fiancee had jilted him and returned to her former lover.

It was gathered that Jonnan committed suicide by drinking an insecticide in the Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba state.

A family source that spoke with Punch disclosed that the deceased was heartbroken after he caught his fiancée in a room with her ex-boyfriend.

The source added that she told him she was no longer interested in their relationship even after they had completed the traditional marriage rites.

The source stated, “They had gone through the traditional marriage rites and she seemed to love him because they had been in the relationship for over three years.”

“The traditional wedding was held on March 21 this year, where they both consented to marrying each other.”

“Jonnan was called by his friends, who told him that they saw his fiancée with her ex-lover, only for him to rush there and find her in the ex-boyfriend’s room.”

“An altercation ensued and since it was obvious that she had taken sides with her ex-lover, Jonnan left heartbroken, only for us to hear that he committed suicide.”

It was reported that Jonnan was rushed to hospital when he was discovered unconscious, but was pronounced dead by the doctor on duty.

Meanwhile, Nigerian billionaire and former Federal lawmaker, Ned Nwoko, has explained why he has more than one wife and prefers to marry young women.

In an interview with BBC Igbo on Wednesday, the PDP stalwart explained the economical reason was the reason for his choice of polygamy.
