While announcing her death through a Facebook post, Magret’s sister, Stella Ameh, appreciated all those who contributed resources in searching for the deceased.

She wrote, “Sunset at dawn [sic]. I want to use this medium to thank everyone for their enormous help, time, and resources put together in finding our sister Margret. Yes, she was found but has gone to find rest with her maker. God bless you all.

“Yes, she went into depression, left her parents’ house for an unknown destination the day she went missing, and she was found dead after taking her own life. And her ordeal was caused by the Orokam man that she got married to, whose first wife died in the same fate.”

Margaret was happily married to her husband, who hails from Orokam, Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State, after the death of his first wife, and they were staying abroad with their two kids before her husband later relocated her back to Nigeria and abandoned her with her two kids.
