A close friend of the young girl, who did not want her name mentioned, said Jessica killed herself because she loved Labi and could not accept that she had been jilted.
The friend further told The Punch that her late friend, Jessica Beer, believed that after impregnating another girl, her future plans with Labi was in jeopardy.
The source said when she went to Beer’s residence, she met the victim on the floor, vomiting blood.
She said, “My friend had brought a sharp knife the day before the incident to my house. She said I should follow her to her boyfriend’s house, threatening to deal with him. But I advised her not to take the law into her own hands.
“When I went to see her the next day, I met Jessica (Beer) on the floor, vomiting blood and I quickly raised the alarm.”
She was rushed to a private hospital, Yiman Hospital, in the area, where doctors certified her dead.
At her school, her classmates were seen crying, while teachers in the school discussed the incident.
One of her classmates told Punch in tears that she was shocked that Beer would “intentionally kill herself because of a man.”
Another classmate said, “I was told that the boyfriend (Labi) is a cultist and an armed robber, who had refused to further his education. Why should my friend commit suicide over such a person? I can never do such a thing.”
