Lagos socialite, Farida Sobowale who attempted suicide opens up on what happened

A Lagos Socialite, Farida Abdulkabir popularly called Farida Sobowale disclosed how she attempted to plunge into a lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos.

Farida who is the proprietor of the House of Phreedah in Lagos said, she attempted suicide out of frustrations, occasioned by failed marriage and many others as what propelled her action on Thursday night.

Speaking in a viral voice note on social media, she said her N100 million marriage with another Lagos socialite, Demola Okulaja, crashed after two months.

Abdulkabir was seen being pacified to desist from jumping in a viral video, while rescuers were assuring her there was no need to take her life before she was whisked away into her vehicle and taken to an undisclosed destination.

The fair-complexioned entrepreneur and socialite owns a beauty lounge and spa located at Akerele Street, Surulere, Lagos.

As a fallout of her crashed marriage, Farida who could not endure depression 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.
