It was alleged that she had lost the sum of 400,000 Naira which was borrowed from numerous sources without her husband knowledge to invest into the scheme.

After saying goodbye to her two sons, she left note for her husband begging to be forgiven for her wrong doings and she then headed off to River Benue to drown herself. Her husband, Samson David was informed of the recovery of the deceased in the river on the 2nd of January 2017. Her body was eventually identified by a neighbour in the Morgue of the Federal Medical Centre in Makurdi on the 17th of January 2017.
