One Miss Dinatu Gadi of ECWA staff community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, has committed suicide by setting herself ablaze.
Gadi, who was in her mid-thirties, reportedly took her life on Thursday night.
An eye witness, Mr. John Fara, told News Agency of Nigeria that the deceased bought a gallon of kerosene at about 8 pm, sneaked to the back of their house, poured the whole content on her body and set herself ablaze.
Fara, who is also a neighbour to the deceased, said that he saw a huge fire burning but thought someone was burning trash.
“I was outside the house when I saw a huge fire behind the compound and thought someone was burning trash.
“Then I heard someone screamed once, saying ‘I am dying,’ and I quickly went behind to inquire what was going on and discovered someone was burning in the fire.
“Immediately, we brought water and poured it on her, but it was already too late, she was badly burnt all over, but she was still alive.
