One month after losing her husband, the
widow of a policeman, Mrs Philomena Asuquo, has committed suicide. The incident
occurred at the Police Barracks on Sagamu Road in Ikorodu on New Year’s Eve.
The late Mrs Asuquo, whose late
husband, Inspector Uwem Asuquo was yet to be buried, was said to have drunk
sniper, an insecticide, out of frustration.
According to her 19-year-old son,

depressed since her husband died last November. He said he ran into his
mother’s room, after perceiving an insecticide’s odour around the living room
