A
41-year-old woman, Mrs Catherine Sefunmi Urouna, has allegedly committed
suicide by drinking some poisonous substance in protest of her husband's
refusal to buy her an iPad device. Her
family of five was on Saturday morning thrown into mourning, even as the
neighbours were shocked that a woman, who was happily married with children,
could take such a nasty decision to take her own life over an iPad.
According
to LEADERSHIP Newspaper finding, the 41-year-old woman and mother of three, two boys and
a girl, was a senior account officer at the Akure North local government
council of Ondo State. She was
said to have threatened to kill herself a fortnight ago if her husband failed
to get her an iPad; even as the husband had pleaded with her to be patient and
asked her to use the Blackberry phone he bought for her until he could afford
to buy her an iPad.
The
police in Ondo State, however, said they were investigating the incident to
ascertain the actual cause of her death
