A Nigerian lady identified as Yetunde Folorunsho has died in Kwara after allegedly drinking poison.
She passed away at the General Hospital, Ilorin on Monday April 11.
Yetunde,mother of two and a Linguistics graduate of the University of Ilorin (Unilorin) had protested against her husband’s plan to marry a second wife.
A social media user who claims to be Yetunde’s course mate has alleged that the deceased was poisoned by her husband, Hassan and mother-in-law over a disagreement with her religious status.
But reports suggest that Yetunde converted from Christianity to Islam so as to marry her husband, who is a Muslim.
Yetunde’s neighbours also revealed in an interview with the Daily Trust that she drank the poison after a disagreement with her husband over his intention to marry a second wife which is acceptable in Islam.
Alhaji Lagbe Araoje, brother-in-law suspects Yetunde consumed a deadly substance believed to be ‘DD forc’ after she picked up a quarrel with Hassan.
‘On Monday, around 10am, she (Yetunde) had a little quarrel with her husband outside the house; it was settled and she went inside. The husband later gave her a phone that she had earlier requested.
Police have meanwhile commenced an investigation into the matter.
Police spokesperson said ‘A case of murder was reported by a brother to the late woman’s husband. But we are still investigating because there are insinuations of homicide. We have invited all the parties and deposited her corpse for autopsy’.
