Mrs. Muji Kazeem of Oremiren Street, Somolu, Lagos State, has commited suicide four months after giving birth to twins. She was found death in a well on Tuesday morning. She had been declared missing two days prior to her discovery in the neighbourhood well.

Mr. Kazeem, the husband of the deceased, reported confirmed the death of his wife. He had last seen her at 11:30pm, Sunday night and was last spotted by a neighbour who had told Mr. Kazeem that he had seen her outside taking in the cool air. When Mr. Kazeem awoke around 1am to the wailing of his twin children, his wife was nowhere to be found.

A search party had been organised by the neighbour and the matter reported to the police. The deceased cloths had been spotted near the well. Her body was discovered when a woman who wanted to draw water from the well observed that the drawer could not get water. She shone a torchlight down the well and discovered the swollen body of Mrs. Kazeem.

It was learned that the deceased had been depressed and absentminded for days before her demise. The police have yet to make any headway in the investigation
