by hanging herself in her family home.
The young girl, who is yet to be identified, reportedly committed
suicide behind her father's house early Monday morning in Yenagoa,
the state capital.
The Bayelsa State Police Public Relations Officer,Mr Alex Akhigbe,
confirming the incident said that the girl allegedly hanged herself
early on Monday.
According to reports, He said: "Yes, police have confirmed the death
of the young girl, who killed herself behind her father's house early
in the morning, yesterday (Monday).
"The police have also evacuated the corpse from the scene and
deposited it in the mortuary. The corpse is still awaiting autopsy.
"It was a very strange act and a surprise to see a young girl of that
age take her life; it is a real mystery." He, however, said that
investigations were ongoing in the matter to establish the motive
behind the girl's alleged action.
"Her parents have not talked to the police. We are still investigating
to get to the root of the matter," he said.
"Parents should always keep a watch over their children. They should
know the character and kind of friends their kids keep."
"This is not good to our society. What could cause a young person of
that age to hang herself to death?; we should improve on moral
teaching of our children," Akhigbe said.
