Woman jumps to death from flyover in Delta

An unidentified lady has allegedly jumped from the Ekpan flyover in Uvwie local government area, Delta state to her death.

The sad incident which occurred Saturday afternoon in the oil-rich city became the first alleged case of suicide recorded on the flyover.

 

The state Police public relations officer, SP Bright Edafe confirmed the sad incident to the Vanguard, saying before the police got there the corpse of the lady had been removed.

“We heard of the incident but before our men got there, they took the corpse of the woman away.”, the police said.

Some eyewitnesses who spoke to the Vanguard said the middle-aged lady apparently in her 30s screamed that she was tired of hardship before jumping from the flyover to her death.

In another development, one person allegedly lost his life in a kidnap incident that took place on the ever-busy Warri -Sapele road on Friday night at about 8 pm.

Vanguard gathered that the kidnappers opened fire on some vehicles around the Elume bridge area of the road.

One person who allegedly sustained a gunshot injury died in Sapele while being rushed to a hospital.

It could not be confirmed if anybody was kidnapped by the kidnappers but an unconfirmed report alleged that some passengers were whisked away into the bush by the kidnappers.
