Sad News: 12-year-old girl commits suicide in Bayelsa


A 12-year old girl in Bayelsa State has allegedly ended her own life
by hanging herself in her family home.
The young girl, who is yet to be identified, 
reportedly committed suicide  behind her father’s house early 
Monday morning in Yenagoa, the state capital.

The Bayelsa State Police Public Relations Officer,
Mr Alex Akhigbe,  confirming the incident said that the girl 
allegedly hanged herself early on Monday.
According to reports, He said: “Yes, police have confirmed 
the death of the young girl, who killed herself behind her
 father’s house early in the morning, yesterday (Monday).
“The police have also evacuated the corpse from the scene and 
deposited it in the mortuary. The corpse is still awaiting autopsy.
“It was a very strange act and a surprise to see a young girl of 
that age take her life; it is a real mystery.” 
He, however, said that investigations were ongoing in the 
matter to establish the motive behind the girl’s alleged action.
“Her parents have not talked to the police. 
We are still investigating to get to the root of the matter,” he said.
“Parents should always keep a watch over their children. 
They should know the character and kind of friends their kids keep.”
“This is not good to our society. What could cause a young person
 of that age to hang herself to death?; we should improve on
 moral teaching of our children,” Akhigbe said.
