Mother of two children from Ugbokolo Local Government Area, Benue state, Margaret Oyibo Atayi has been found dead after she went missing.
Gatekeepers News reports that Margaret reportedly killed herself in Nasarawa State over her failed marriage.
The deceased was found dead three days after her family members declared her missing. Margaret was last seen around City College Of Education, Abacha Road, Mararaba, Nasarawa State at about 3 am on Friday, May 17, 2024, and all efforts to find her whereabouts proved abortive since then.
Margaret’s sister, Ochanya Chelle confirmed that she was found dead on Monday, May 20. According to her father, Mr. Patrick Atayi, Margaret committed suicide after falling into depression because of her marital crisis.
He said Margaret was a mother of two children. She has been in depression for some time now due to mistreatment by her husband. She went out on that fateful Friday morning by 3am without the knowledge of anybody. Her body was discovered in the late hours of Monday, and every available evidence confirmed that she committed suicide. A source said “This is very unfortunate. In an effort to search for her, I reached out to her father and discovered that she was a mother of two children and that she went into depression for some time, which led to her going out that Friday night at 3 am without anyone’s knowledge, resulting in this unfortunate incident.”
“Please, no one should die in silence, no matter the situation you find yourself in. Please speak out; you could be helped and overcome it. Nothing is worth taking your life for or dying for. Above all, embrace God and enjoy the peace of God.”
