Girl Drinks Poison After Boyfriend of 7 Years Broke Her Heart

A girl in Delta almost lost her life after she drank poison due to a broken relationship.

Elizabeth Okolie from Umuagu in Asaba, the state capital, took the toxic substance after her boyfriend of 7 years walked out on her.

However, she was saved by her friends and sympathizers who made her drink palm oil to neutralize the poison.

The boyfriend, said to be a chemical engineer, broke up with Elizabeth after claiming that she was suffering from sickle cell anemia.

Her father, Ogbueshi Okolie however said that the boyfriend was just looking for an escape route.

The girl has since been taken to a hospital for treatment.
