A few days after she was delivered of a set of twins, a Nigerian woman, Shekinat Abdurazaq, 27, committed suicide when she jumped into the Osun River in Ede, Western Nigeria.
The suicide was committed in full glare at about 3.30 p.m. on the Osun River Bridge on the Oke Gada Road.
The News Agency of Nigeria said the woman, who hailed from Ede in Osun, delivered the twins 11 days ago.
Witnesses said before Shekinat jumped into the river, she reportedly prayed and gave alms to beggars around the bridge head.
One of the witnesses, who identified himself as Selia Mojeed, said people did not know that Abdurazaq wanted to commit suicide, else they would have prevented her from doing so.
Although efforts to speak with her husband failed, it was said that the woman had no outstanding problems with her spouse, family or neighbours before the incident.
Efforts by sympathisers and passersby to rescue the woman failed as she was said to have drowned immediately.
Shortly after the incident, her husband also attempted to jump into the river. He was prevented from doing so by bystanders.
The police later whisked away the deceased’s husband and placed him under safe custody at the Police “A” Division in Ede.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Folasade Odoro, confirmed the incident. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteShe may have suffered from Post Partum Depression(PPD). This is a form of clinical depression which can affect women, and less frequently men, typically after childbirth. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Adieu Shekinat!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the meaning of this baby that others are praying for to have, God gave u and u are committing suicide.
ReplyDeleteThere is a controlling power at work. This is not ordinary. We indeed wrestle not against flesh and blood...
ReplyDeleteSHE ORIGINATED FROM THE EDE RIVER. SHE ONLY WENT BACK HOME. NO PITY. THE TWIN BABIES WILL CERTAINLY SURVIVE COME RAIN OR SUN. GOD WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO SUFFER. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACT OF COWARDICE FOR THE HUSBAND TO COMMIT SUICIDE ALONG THAT GODDESS.
ReplyDeleteMay GOD have mercy and his protection should be on us
