A 47-year-old staff of Globacom Limited, identified as Afolake Abiola has committed suicide by drinking ‘Sniper’, a popular pesticide.

The tragic incident occurred on Friday, May 27, 2022, at her residence, at number 1 Abayomi Kukomi close in Osapa London, Lekki.

It was gathered that Afolake who is single, and childless had suffered depression for a while before she took her life.

According to a family member, name withheld, “she has been battling depression for a while.

“She had been suffering from depression for years and her death has nothing to do with loneliness or lack of a husband or s*x. Within the last seven years, I know she was in a relationship twice.

“She ended those relationships on her own because of depression. She said she did not want to bring someone else into her life when she could not take care of herself. She was going through extreme depression, but people that did not know what she was going through have been posting rubbish online.”

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of Lagos state police command SP Benjamin Hundeyin said, “When the policemen got to the scene, her family members were there and they official requested that the corpse be released to them to enable them to bury her according to Islamic rites.

“Based on compassionate grounds her corpse was released to her family for burial.”
