Farida Abdulkabir States Her Reasons For Almost Commiting Suicide
Popular socialite Farida Abdulkabir of Lagos State has provided an explanation for her decision to jump into a lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge on Thursday, August 17.
Frustrations, a failed marriage, and a number of other factors, according to Abdulkabir, who is also the owner of House of Phreedah, drove her to take action.
She claimed that she had made numerous suicidal attempts since he left their marital home out of frustration.
The entrepreneur and socialite with a fair complexion owns a spa and beauty lounge on Akerele Street in Surulere, Lagos.
Farida’s marriage had failed, and because she could no longer handle her depression, she made the decision to commit suicide. She got out of her black sport utility vehicle on the Third Mainland Bridge and dove into the lagoon.
In a voice message that went viral on social media, Farida said that the breakdown of her marriage to Demola Okulaja, another Lagos celebrity, two months after their N100 million wedding, caused her a great deal of pain.
“Friends and families warned me not to go into the marriage. They told me that the man only wanted my money but I was recalcitrant. It was love that pushed me into this. He told me that he was going to be with me, make me bore children for him. I am so sorry for putting my children in such a position. I would not have forgiven myself if I had abandoned them after committing suicide. I have forgiven my ex-husband. May God provide him with another wife,” she said
Farida was rescued by passersby on Thursday evening, August 17, while attempting to jump into the Lagoon. She parked her SUV by the side of the bridge and attempted to jump into the Lagoon was quickly rescued by passersby.
Meanwhile, Farida and her estranged hubby engaged in altercations, revealing shocking family secrets on social media, attacking themselves, and calling themselves unprintable names.
