The mother of two from Ugbokolo Local Government Area of Benue State was found dead three days after she was declared missing by her family members.
She was last seen around City College Of Education, Abacha road, Mararaba, Nasarawa State at about 3am on Friday, May 17, 2024.
Since then, all efforts to locate her whereabouts proved abortive until her sister, Ochanya Chelle, confirmed that she was found dead on Monday, May 20.
According to her father, Mr. Patrick Atayi, she committed suicide after falling into depression due to her marital crisis.
“Margaret was a mother of two children. She has been in depression for some time now due to mistreatment by her husband," he explained.
“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 close source who confirmed the incident to Idoma Voice Newspaper 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.
