Jamima Shetima Balami, a National Diploma II student of the Department of Mass Communication at the Federal Polytechnic Mubi in Adamawa State has reportedly taken her own life by taking a poisonous substance after her boyfriend called it quits with her.

According to reports, the deceased who was undergoing Industrial Training (IT) at the Adamawa Television (ATV), Yola at the time of her death, died at her residence in Vinikilang, popularly known as Hayin Gada in the Girei local government area of the state.

The 24-year-old, who was the only daughter of her father, was said to have taken her life when her boyfriend, allegedly a lecturer at Modibbo Adama University (MAU), asked her to end their relationship.

Confirming the incident to newsmen, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, said that the father of the deceased reported the matter to the police. He said although the matter was reported to the police in two different versions, the police promised to unveil the real cause of death.

The other version had it that she visited her boyfriend, a lecturer at Modibbo Adama University (MAU) Yola, and was told to quit the relationship. Angered by the news of exiting her boyfriend, the deceased took poison.”
