A 32-year-old bank staff has reportedly taken her life citing poor economic situation and hopelessness as her reasons.
The deceased, Amarachi Ugochukwu, who is said to be a marketing employee of Globus Bankk, Ikorodu Branch, ended it all by taking an insecticide.
A suicide note and an empty can of insecticide she was suspected to have consumed were found on the floor of the toilet.
According to her colleagues, the late Amarachi, left her desk at about noon, on January 8, 2024, to ease herself.
Her long and unusual absence was noticed, after her phone, which she left on the table, repeatedly rang out without response.
Out of curiosity, some of her colleagues were said to have searched for her within the premises.
One of them, who went to search for her in the toilet, was said to have found it locked from inside. Apprehension set it when several knocks on the door were greeted with silence from within.
After forcing the door open, she was found on the floor, motionless.
A 2024 diary in which she wrote the suicide note read: ” Nothing is working in my life. My brain is clogged up. The economy is getting harder. My decisions are wrong. My mind is messed up. The future doesn’t seem bright at all, I see extreme hardship, and I can’t bear the pain anymore. I’m sorry Mom, I’m sorry Dad”…
She, however, apologized to five other persons, mentioning their names and ended the note with “Dear Lord, have mercy on me”.
Her colleagues said a doctor who was invited, confirmed she was dead.
A team of policemen from the Ikorodu division that visited the scene upon receiving the information evacuated the corpse to the Ikorodu General Hospital for autopsy.
