The 14-year-old girl who is the fourth child of one Maame Ampomaa is reportedly fighting for her life at Nweneso in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
According to Class News, the mother narrated that she realized her daughter had found herself a boyfriend about a week ago, and as a single mother and of course what every mother would do, advised her to stay away from the said lover else she would have to stay home if pregnancy strikes.
Almost driven mad at the prospect of having to break her relationship with her new found love, the teenager attempted to commit suicide by cutting her wrists.
She was found in the pool of her blood and rushed to hospital.
The mother said she went to her child’s room this morning only to find the almost lifeless body of her daughter.
The girl who was reported to be in a critical condition is now stable, though she cannot eat and drink as it stands now.
The loverboy who has caused all the brouhaha is said to be a 34-year old community okada rider (commercial motorcyclist).
