On Saturday August 31, 2013 a 41-year-old woman, Mrs Catherine Sefunmi Urouna, refused to enter the new month of September as committed suicide by drinking substance suspected to be chemical in protest of her husband's refusal to buy her an ipad device.


The family members were thrown into mourning, even as the neighbours were shocked that a woman who was happily married could take such a nasty decision to take her own life over an ipad.

The police in Ondo State are, however, investigating the actual cause of her death. The 41-year-old woman and mother of two boys and a girl was a Senior Executive Accounting Officer in Akure North local government council, Iju/Ita-Ogbolu of Ondo State.

She was said to have threatened to kill herself a fortnight ago if the husband didn’t get her an ipad; even as the husband pleaded with her to continue using the Blackberry phone.
