29-Year-Old Mother Takes Own Life After Poisoning Children, Reports Point to Husband’s Affair With Housemaid.
The quiet of a community in Umuahia was shattered by a devastating discovery that has left residents heartbroken and searching for answers. A 29-year-old mother named Brenda is reported to have poisoned her two young children before ending her own life, in an act that friends and neighbors are calling an unthinkable tragedy.
Details, still emerging from local online reports, paint a painful picture. Brenda was known as a married mother of two—a boy and a girl. Those who knew her described a seemingly happy family. The breaking point, according to multiple accounts, came when she reportedly discovered her husband was having an affair with their housemaid.

The betrayal appears to have pushed her to a desperate place. Friends and reports suggest she was overwhelmed not only by the heartbreak but by the fear of gossip and the shame she believed would follow. In a state of deep despair, she made a fatal decision.
Authorities believe that after preparing a meal for her children, Brenda added a poisonous substance, identified in reports as the insecticide “Sniper.” She reportedly waited for the poison to take effect. After her children died, she then took her own life.
The news has sent waves of grief and anger through the community and across social media. The central, agonizing question on everyone’s mind revolves around the children. “What offense did these two sweet kids commit?” one commentator wrote online. “Why would she decide to kill her own children just to get back at her husband? For God’s sake, they were innocent.”

Many are pointing to the pressures on women, the stigma around infidelity, and the desperate sense of isolation that can lead to such catastrophic actions. While nothing can excuse the loss of the children’s lives, conversations have begun about the need for better mental health support and community intervention in times of severe marital crisis.
The local police are investigating, and the exact location of the incident within Umuahia is being withheld as the case develops. The husband, whose alleged infidelity is cited as the trigger, is reportedly cooperating with authorities.
For now, a community is left to mourn a mother and her two children, a family erased by a chain of choices born from pain.
