Edo: In a tragic incident, five individuals were reportedly found dead in Edo located in Nigeria after a woman allegedly poisoned a pepper soup intended for her ex-boyfriend.
The woman prepared the soup and laced it with poison in order to seek revenge from her former partner after their relationship ended, Daily Star reported citing Nigeria's Daily Post. However, the boyfriend shared the dish with his friends and siblings.
Family members became concerned when they noticed the five had not come out from the room where they were gathered. Upon checking, they saw the five had died. The report mentioned that the bodies of five people, two brothers and three others including a female were found inside a room in Afashio, Uzairue.
Some sources reported that the cause of death of the five people could be toxic generator fumes and food poisoning, as reported by the publication.
The woman has since been arrested, and the Nigerian army is conducting a further investigation into the incident.
Moses Yamu, Public Relations Officer at the Edo State Police Command, said that the command is aware, and the matter is being investigated to determine the cause of death.
In a similar incident that recently occurred in India, a man in Uttar Pradesh died after consuming a meal prepared by his wife during Karwa Chauth festival. The man's family subsequently filed a complaint, accusing his wife of poisoning the food, according to officials.
