Abibatu was found dead on Saturday, April 28, 2018, according to a source who spoke to Punch News.

“On Saturday morning, we heared that the girl was dead. We later learnt that she took mosquito killer.

"We also heard that her parents were angry with her because she got pregnant. She might have committed suicide because of the shame.

“We know her as a very calm person and we never knew she was capable of such act; we never knew she could take her own life in such a manner,” says the anonymous source.

Mr. Nnamdi Omoni, the Rivers State Police Command's Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed that the parents of the deceased are yet to file a report concerning her death.
