Man Takes Rat Poison After His Fiancee Dumped Him A Week To His Wedding

A 37-year-old Emeka Odigwu
Economics graduate of the Delta
State owned University, Abraka has
attempted committing suicide over
his failed relationship to his
longstanding lover at the weekend.
He was discovered by the police.
According to reports Emekus as he
is fondly called by his friends, had
the saddest story of heartbreak a
week to his wedding when his
fiancée rejected his love at an outing
with his friends in a popular fast
food in Warri metropolis.
DSP Celestina Kalu, Police Public
Relations Officer in the state said
that the victim was rescued at a T-
Junction in Warri by Police Patrol
team on routine duty, adding that he
was found almost lifeless around
Jappa Junction gasping between his
breaths around 10:30pm on Saturday
night on the ground.
DSP Kalu disclosed that the
Policemen who moved into him on
the ground, recovered a letter he
wrote, “I fell heartbroken and
rejected by someone, whom I loved
and had given my heart to over the
years in the midst of a get together
with my friends, I’d rather die and
return to my mother’s earth”.
According to the victim’s younger
sister Evelyn Odigwe, her brother
had been dating that girl for more
than three years running and just
proposed to her recently in the
presence of their entire family,
thinking he had found his soul mate
before the bubble burst.
Unconfirmed sources said that the
girl (name withheld) allegedly
dumped the victim when her
childhood friend who traveled
abroad six years ago returned with
high hopes promises and asked her
hand in marriage.
But the victim’s sister said that the
Police recovered six sachets of rat
poisons on the ground where he laid
after he expressed disappointment
on the fateful day and returned to
his room, claiming he was going to
bed.
According to her, “My brother may
have gone to buy the rat poisons and
drank them because he was really
emotional over the girl’s attitude”.
