The body of a 26-year-old National Youth Service Corp, NYSC,
member, identified as Ernest, was, Wednesday, recovered from his one room
apartment after he reportedly took a poisonous substance.
Reports indicated that the young man, who was in love with a
fellow NYSC member, Chioma Okewuru, went berserk when the girl came back from
her village over the weekend with a ring from a man she had promised to marry.
Ernest, who is from Edo State and a graduate of the
University of Benin, was posted to Cross River State in October, where he met
and fell in love with Chioma, and both were serving in Redemption Secondary
School, Ofombogha 1 in Obubra Local Government Area of Cross Rivers State.
