She drafted the list, but she said she wanted to bath before going, so reaching the bathroom, she took sniper. While her relatives were inside the room, she struggled and fell outside the bathroom. One of the neighbours who saw her on the ground started shouting, alerting her parents and siblings who hurriedly went outside only to find their daughter lying on the ground, so they asked her what happened, she managed to tell them that she took sniper.

"Before she passed on, it is alleged that she sent a text message to the scammer, saying that if she dies, her blood will be on the head of the scammer."
Meanwhile, friends and former classmates have of the deceased have expressed shock over her death.
