West Local Government Council of Edo are trying to

housewife, Mrs Margaret Atogwe, found hanging in
her room. The police want to determine whether the woman

Abdullahi Gusau, confirmed the incident, saying it
had been reported to his office. “My officers were at the scene of the incident but
we are still investigating on what was the exact

claimed. Ayonote urged the police authorities to unearth the
