14-Year-Old Girl Attempts Su!c!de As Mother Rejects 34-Year-Old Okada Man Boyfriend

A 14-year-old girl in Ghana identified as Adjoa, is presently fighting for her life in a hospital at the at Nweneso Number One in the Ashanti Region of the country, after she reportedly drank some po!sonous substance after her mother refused to accept her 34-year-old ‘Okadaman’ (Commercial motorcyclist) boyfriend, Daily Graphics reports.

The girl’s mother, identified as Maame Ampomaa , could not come to terms with why her teenage daughter would be a love relationship with a man old enough to be her father and narrated how the whole incident played out:

“About a week ago, I noticed that she had gotten herself a boyfriend. I am a widow and a single mother who toils to take care of her, so, I told her that she would stop schooling and stay home if she continued the relationship.

I woke up this morning and could not find her. I went to her room only to find her almost dying after consuming a po!sonous substance.

I rushed her to a nearby hospital and I am praying that she gets well soon. I was only looking out for her own good so that with all the monies spent on her education, she does not get pr€gnant.

She may end up not getting a good man to marry, that is why I also asked her to stay away from this relationship,” the mother said.
