- A 17-year-old girl identified as Peculiar has reportedly poisoned her ex-boyfriend and his four friends to death
- The tragic incident which happened in Auchi, Edo State has generated outrage and disbelief among Nigerians on social media
- Peculiar following her actions has been reportedly arrested by the Nigerian Army
The Nigerian social media space went agog after a yet-to-be-identified man and four of his friends reportedly died from food poisoning.
The developing story is trending across social media as netizens express their disbelief at the tragic incident, which took place in the Auchi axis of Edo State.
The plot twist that generated these mixed reactions among netizens stemmed from the story that the suspect of the crime is a 17-year-old girl who is supposedly the ex-girlfriend of one of the deceased men.
While reports on the incident, which took place in the Auchi area of Edo State, remain sketchy, the girl, identified as Peculiar, on October 30 was arrested by the Nigerian Army.
Peculiar had on October 26 allegedly prepared fish pepper soup for her ex-boyfriend and poisoned it. Unknown to her, four of his friends shared the meal with him and also died.
17-year-old Peculiar’s action was reportedly said to have been as a way to get back at her supposed ex-boyfriend for dumping her and refusing to take her despite her attempts.
Meanwhile, ‘Sam Larry’ asides from ‘Poison.’ ‘Stop Killing Us’ and ‘Auchi’ is one of the trending conversations on X since Peculiar’s story surfaced online. Some TikTok videos and photos of her, particularly one where she described herself as Sam Larry’s daughter, raised questions. Sam Larry was allegedly accused of playing a part in late popular singer Mohbad’s death.
