11-year-old boy kills self over stolen N200

According to reports by the Vanguard, an 11 year old boy, Terkula Botwer  committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree, at Achusa village, in Makurdi Local Government area of Benue state.

The young boy took his own life over threats of being returned to his parent, by his guardian Mrs Nadoo Hember for  stealing her only N200 on a Saturday morning.

On Sunday, before leaving for church, Mrs Nadoo Hember allegedly warned  Terkula that if the money was not found, she would be forced to return him back to his parents in the village.

Unfortunately, when she returned, she discovered that the boy was not in the house and was no where to be found. But after a frantic search, the lifeless body of the boy was seen hanging on a tree at the back of the house.

She soon raised alarm and that attracted neighbours who gathered to rescue the boy who was already dead. 

The body of the boy has since been recovered and  deposited at the Markurdi Federal Medical Centre by Police officers while investigations persists.
