An unidentified young man and four of his friends have reportedly died after consuming pepper soup made by his ex-girlfriend.

The young man and his four friends met their ultimate death after eating the soup. It was learned that the tragic event took place on Saturday, October 26, in Auchi, Edo State.

Reports suggest that the woman, who was attempting to exact revenge on the young man for ending their relationship, served him a plate of fish pepper soup laced an alleged poison.

Regretfully, he shared the meal with four of his friends. The Nigerian military has since taken the suspect, who was only known as Peculiar, into custody.
