My trigger For Thursday Suicide Attempt – Farida Abdulkabir

A popular Lagos State socialite, Farida Abdulkabir, who was rescued from committing suicide on Thursday has revealed the main reason why she wanted to plunge into a lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos.

ValidViewNetwork had earlier reported that the Lagos socialite and entrepreneur was rescued while attempting from jumping into the lagoon.

Abdulkabir is the owner of House of Phreedah. She has reportedly cited frustrations, failed marriage and many others as what trigered her action on Thursday night.

In a viral voice note on social media, she said her N100 million marriage with another Lagos socialite, Demola Okulaja, crashed after two months lamenting that she was warned.

Apparently not able to contain the disappointment, she decided to end her life as she alighted from her black-coloured Sport Utility Vehicle on the Third Mainland Bridge to plunge into the lagoon .

She was married to another Lagos socialite, Demola Okulaja, in a grand marriage about two months ago.

Abdulkabir said after Okulaja walked out of the matrimonial home, she’s been frustrated with many suicidal attempts.

She said, “Friends and families warned me not to go into the marriage. They told me that the man only wanted my money but I was recalcitrant.

“I am so sorry for putting my children in such a position. I would not have forgiven myself if I had abandoned them after committing suicide.

Farida and Demola had earlier engaged in social media altercations, revealing shocking family secrets.
