Nigerians on Thursday mourned the death of a female bank worker in Ikorodu, Lagos State, who took her own life.
The 32-year-old Amarachi Ugochukwu was said to have died after consuming an insecticide.
It was learnt that the incident happened on Monday within the premises of a bank.
Ugochukwu had around 1pm made her way into the restroom, where she was said to have drunk the insecticide, unknown to her colleagues.
Other members of staff had started looking for her when the phone she left on her table kept ringing and she was not around to pick the calls.
A police source confirmed to one of our correspondents that Ugochukwu was later found dead inside the toilet with the bottle of insecticide and her suicide note.
In the suicide note obtained by our correspondent, the lady blamed the hard economy for her decision to end her life, lamenting nothing was working well for her.
“Nothing is working in my life. My figures are low. 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. I can’t bear the pain anymore,” she wrote in the suicide note.
Ugochukwu apologised to her parents and other members of her family in the suicide note.
