A young man, along with four of his friends, tragically passed away on Saturday, October 26, in Auchi, Edo State, after reportedly consuming a fish pepper soup allegedly laced with poison by his ex-girlfriend.
According to emerging reports, the incident involved a woman, identified only as Peculiar, who allegedly sought revenge on the young man for ending their relationship. She reportedly prepared the pepper soup, intending it as a means of retribution. Unaware of its contents, the young man shared the meal with four friends, all of whom suffered fatal consequences.
