Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad of the Lagos state Police
Command on Friday morning prevented yet another woman from committing
suicide by leaping into the Lagoon.
One Mrs. Abigael Ogunyinka had also been rescued earlier by fishermen in Lagos Lagoon Friday morning,
The second lady, Taiwo Momoh, 58, a textile dealer in Lagos Island,
had reportedly put off her shoes and was wrapping her dress around her
when men of RRS men prevented her from jumping.
The lady, who lives in Lekki Lagos, disclosed to RSS officials that
she was pushed to committing suicide in order to put an end to her
constant sleeplessness and shame occasioned by her indebtedness to three
Swiss textile dealers.
She said her problem started sometimes in 2015, when a Bureau De
Change dealer carted away her N18.7 million she wanted to change to pay
her foreign creditors.
“As you are seeing me like this, well dressed, you would think am living
fine. But in my heart is a heavy burden. A burden of huge debt,
disappointment from trusting people and abandoned by a son I love and
bought a car for. I am a moving corpse,” Momoh stated.
