A Nigerian teen committed suicide because her mother did not approve of her partner. She was just 17 years old.

Taiwo’s mother did not allow her daughter to continue seeing her boyfriend, a 19-year-old who graduated high school in 2021.

Taiwo is said to have put something poisonous in the drink she was drinking on Friday, October 21, 2022. Her death occurred in the Lagos neighborhood of Dalemo Alakuko on the same day she took the poison.

According to some other accounts, the reason that Taiwo took her own life had nothing to do with her love life.
