Just hours after the chilling story of Peculiar, the young woman accused of poisoning her ex-boyfriend and four others in Auchi, Edo State surfaced, another shocking incident has surfaced online, sparking concern across social media.
In a disturbing video, a young girl was seen with her hands tied while bystanders questioned her about allegedly poisoning her father.
The footage shows the girl responding to onlookers with an unsettling calm, even stating that she was “willing to die also.” Her apparent boldness has left many viewers horrified, questioning what may be influencing such drastic actions among young women.
GWG.ng reports that the case follows the viral Auchi incident, in which Peculiar allegedly used poisoned pepper soup to kill her ex-boyfriend, his new girlfriend, and three of his friends. Both events have prompted an outpouring of shock and concern on social media, with many Nigerians calling for deeper investigation and action to address the disturbing trend.
A chorus of comments online echoes a shared sense of fear and confusion. “What’s happening with our young ladies?” many are asking, troubled by the apparent increase in violent acts involving young women and family members.
