Female Banker Kills Self In Lagos

A female marketing employee of a bank in Ikorodu, Lagos State, has committed suicide.

The deceased, 32-year-old Amarachi Ugochukwu, was said to have drunk an insecticide.

It was learnt that the incident took place on Monday within the premises of the bank.

Ugochukwu had around 1pm made her way into the restroom, where she drank 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 that Ugochukwu was later found dead inside the toilet with the bottle of insecticide and her suicide note.

In the suicide note, the deceased blamed hard economy for her decision to end her life, saying 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.

“I’m sorry mum, I’m sorry dad, I’m sorry Nene, Okwe, Toto, Nazor, Chuchu, Ifunanya,” she added.

She concluded by writing, “Dear Lord, have mercy on me!”

The bank manager had reportedly told the police that Ugochukwu locked herself up in the toilet to commit suicide, and she was found dead when the door was forced open.

A medical doctor examined Ugochukwu and confirmed her dead.
