A 19-year-old girl who faked her own death on Facebook to avoid financial pressure from her mother has been arrested by the Lagos State Police.

This was disclosed by the Lagos police spokesman, Bala Elkana, in a statement on Sunday, May 24.

According to the statement, 19-year-old Margaret Adiya, was arrested following a petition signed by a man, Tony Iji, on behalf of the family of Ms Adiya from Oni community in Oju Local Government Area of Benue State.

The statement said: “The petitioners stated that their attention was drawn to a post on Facebook stating that the said Margaret Adiya died few days ago and was secretly buried by her two friends Marvelous Mary and Nneka Buddy at Ajah area.

“The family further stated that they were able to establish contact with the said friends who confirmed to them that their daughter is dead. That they were instructed by Margaret not to allow members of her family know anything about her death and that they were authorised by the deceased person to secretly bury her.

“To make them believe that the girl is dead, they sent WhatsApp chats to a member of the girl’s family with picture of a casket showing that the girl is buried. The known phone number of the girl is permanently switched off. The family also got in touch with a man on phone who claimed to be her boyfriend. He corroborated the claim that she is dead.”

Mr Elkana said the girl was eventually found by the police to be alive and working as a house maid in an estate at Ajah area of the state.

“When her employer saw the report of her purported death, they quickly informed the Police and she was brought to Ajah Police Station,” the spokesman added.

“In her statement, she confessed to have created the Facebook account and posted her obituary with intent to keep her family away from her. That her mother was putting financial pressure on her, constantly demanding that she send money to her.

“The girl is apparently bitter with her mother and uncles, over their inability to sponsor her education after the death of her father. Her sojourn to Lagos is to work, save some money and return to school.

“She admitted using her employer daughter’s photograph Dr Nimechi Ugorji (without her knowledge) in the fictitious Facebook account she created, as profile picture. After posting the obituary notice on the account, her uncle downloaded the profile picture and reposted, calling on members of the public who know the person on the photograph to report to the nearest police station.”

Elkana said investigation is still ongoing in the case.

You refused to train your daughter, but you want her to be sending money to you regularly.. Where do you expect her to get the money? Prostitution??
Police should please release that girl.

So many parents are irresponsible. I've seen girls like that who are in school and still send money to their mothers at home. It's so pathetic

The more reason why our girls have turned coded protitutes.

Many poor Nigerian parents have multiple kids so they can financially exploit them when they're barely out of their teens. How most of these kids graduate from school, they don't care. They'll be calling their kids in school that there's no money for food at home, that's beyond pathetic!

Africans parents should STOP having more kids than they can cater for and STOP mounting financial pressure on kids that didn't ask to be born.

That will be obtaining by false pretence and it is criminal. Right now, she has committed no offense.

Irresponsible mother, for the lady to go this far only god knows the immense pressure they've put her on.

That's how they push their kids into illegal activities just to satisfy their monetary lust.

Honestly, I don't blame the girl.

Some African parents are very stupîd and useless.

The amount of pressure they put on some children is the reason why the society is as it is.

I'll prefer that they arrest the useless mother instead and not the girl.

A teenager that is supposed to taken care of is the one the useless mother is dependent on and mounting pressures on to send money. SUCH USELESS MOTHER WON'T EVEN MIND TO KNOW THE SOURCE OF THE MONEY. Whether she's stealing or doing prostitution won't be her concern. ALL SHE WILL CARE ABOUT IS JUST FOR HER TO SEND MONEY.

The old generation have seriously failed us. The situation of this country is an example. They have made mess of everything and later, you'll be hearing children of this generation blablabla...

Useless old hag.

I feel for her greatly. She's tired of the exploitation. Such pressure leads alot of girls into selling their bodies.

Police should release the girl to go back to work and plan her life too. 6

And I was hoping to open and see that it happened overseas.. However after reading it, I can understand why the poor girl did so. Too bad she couldn't think of another way to get her mum to stop pressuring her for money other than fake her own death.

Is that even a criminal offence
