According to Metro Naija, a 34 year old mother of two kids, Mrs Gloria Samson was said to have left her home on December 28, 2016 to drown herself in River Benue. Her body was discovered on January 2, 2017 by police.
At the time she was leaving home, she was said to have pleaded with her children to forgive her and at the same time told the children to tell their father to forgive her.
The deceased’s neighbors at Vandeikiya street, High level, Makurdi said she had borrowed about N400,000 from different sources and invested in MMM only for the scheme to announce a freeze on cashing out a few days after she invested all the money.
“What we gathered is that she had borrowed money from four different places and invested in MMM but shortly after MMM suspended payment to subscribers, she withdrew to her shell,” the neighbors said.
Samson David, the deceased’s husband confirmed that he was aware his wife took loans, but he could not confirm if she actually invested it in MMM.
“Towards November and December, 2016, I discovered she took loan from four places over N400,000, but I don’t know what she actually did with the money because this time there was nothing in the shop to suggest that she invested the money into her business and truly she took loans.”
The state police spokesman, ASP Moses Yamu confirmed that the Police actually recovered the body of a woman from River Benue.
Late Mrs Gloria Samson was buried on Friday at the Ankpa ward public cemetery.
