A woman has been accused of being allegedly responsible for the death of her ex-boyfriend and his friends including a lady after they were found dead on Saturday in a room in Uzairue, located in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
The suspect whose name is not known at the time of filing this report, was said to have given a plate of peppersoup to her ex-boyfriend.
Unfortunately, the boyfriend shared the peppersoup with his four friends. Two brothers were among them.
The five of them died afterwards, which prompted his neighbours to call the police.
Meanwhile, the Auchi Area Commander and the DPO of Jattu Police Station have stated that no definitive cause will be confirmed until the investigation is concluded.
Confirming the incident, State Police Command spokesman, SP Moses Yamu, said, “The command is aware. But investigation to unravel the cause of death is ongoing.”
