A Liberian lady, Kate, a single mother of 8, who had reportedly tested positive to HIV, has committed suicide by hanging herself at a Mechanic workshop in Bankole street, Isheri-Magodo road, Lagos State.
VIEWERS DISCRETION ADVISED FROM THIS POINT
Residents of Isheri woke up this morning to a shocking sight of a lifeless body swinging with a rope tied to a tree in Mechanic workshop along Bankole street, Isheri, Lagos. GossipBoyz.com.ng visited the scene this morning and according to residents who knew the lady, she was a Liberian immigrant living in Lagos for a while now and might have committed suicide out of depression since learning she had tested positive of HIV.
A source close to her revealed that the lady had been sick and receiving treatments before going for tests and learning that she was HIV positive. With all the stories of Ebola in Liberia, her friends abandoned her and stigmatization set in...
Kate who was a factory worker at a 'pure-water' company, became depressed and a friend of hers gave her some money and encouraged her to travel back to Liberia to her husband to get treatment but couldn't due to the problems of Ebola in Liberia. She has been alone, suffering and starving with no means of income.
Some residents in the compound she lived in even helped her with foodstuffs and money encouraging her to stay calm. They were shocked to wake up to her dead body.
One of the residents who recounted his last moments with her said she was dejected, sitting outside and in deep thoughts; little did they know her thoughts were about committing suicide.
As at the time GossipBoyz.com.ng visited the area, her lifeless body is still hanging out there with the police who visited the area refusing to touch the body saying they cannot take off the body as its a custom attached to committed suicide by hanging.
One of the onlookers said in Yoruba tradition if the body was removed by anybody, her family members would all die; that its a spiritual thing and only spiritual people can do the necessary rituals before dismounting the body.

ReplyDeleteAnd what are the silly old women snapping?
Look at that 1 wit her spring suit n dusty shoes(I fear women wu wear dat kinda skirt), dia wickedness na unto anoda level.
It's amazing what social media and access to camera phones have done to people. Look at them boldly standing in front of a corpse and taking pictures. They might as well take selfies before the corpse is brought down.
ReplyDeleteEven in accident situations when some of the victims might still be alive instead of people applying first aid they'd first bring out phones to snap. Very appalling behaviour.
Pls stop saying she's HIV positive without proof not "dem say" it's not fair or nice on her. the people who claimed to be close to her that knew she was HIV positive should be bold enough to state their names! People are wicked in this world it can just be one stupid careless talk from someone. Pls confirm abeg. May her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteOh swt Lord.......RIp
ReplyDeleteStella just look at what stigmatization has caused ...May her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteSo sad,RIP

ReplyDeletePoor poor woman!
ReplyDeleteDis Life isnt fair to all
Let us who are fortunate be thankful
Just see how people were snapping away @ her lifeless body
Even in death,misery still haunted her
Sad Sad sad
Na wa o!!! Stories we hear n read these days, father in heaven that control. But I don't understand ds story mbok!!! She is a single mother of 8? And money was given to her to go back to Liberia to meet her HUSBAND. If she has a husband at d first place, then how is she a single mother of 8 then?? In another blog, I learnt she was being stigmatised cos she came from Liberia n was so sick. Since Ebola is synonymous with Ebola these days, she was ignored by everyone n people refused to sell things to her. Probably she got frustrated n killed herself. Only God knows d true situation of things, but people who commit suicide have got gutts. How do they manage to take tjeir own lives?? How do they just get it up in their heads n then play it out? I mean, how do they surmon courage to do it? Depression is indeed a bastard. Smh.
ReplyDeleteThe mistake is from the write up, I know the lady oh..it happened in our neighbourhood. She is a mother of an 8year old that has been living in Lagos on her own for a long while...
DeleteCorruption is not our biggest problem. But rather, illitracy, ignorance and mediocrity.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace dear.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
Paragon7ven.
OMG!!
ReplyDeleteImagine, some people are even snapping her
Rip to the dead
SDK, do u know Dr Enemuo did not die of Ebola? Stories unfolding
ReplyDeleteSDK, do u know Dr Enemuo did not die of Ebola? Stories unfolding
ReplyDeleteNigerian police God punish u people......so her people must come from Liberia to perform ritual while the body hangs there till they come? Dnt know what century Africans will become civilised again..... May her soul rip.....
ReplyDeleteNa wa oo...why kill yourself? why??? I just wonder why people contemplate suicide..
ReplyDeleteNa wa for the superstition oo. Which whole family member is dying? Lol..God help us oo and give us the grace to scale through our down moments
SO WHY ALL THE CUSS OUT ON THE PPLE TAKING PHOTOS? IF THEY DIDNT THEN WE WUDNT EVEN HAVE THE NEWS. YES, DIS IS THE AGE WHERE EVERYONE WHO HAS A PHONE IS A 'JOURNALIST', THE MOMENT IT HAPPENS, IT TRAVELS.. WHICH IS NOT A BAD THINGY..
ReplyDeleteAT LEAST AM IN AMERICA BUH I KNOW SOMEONE COMMITTED SUICIDE TODAY SOMEWHERE IN LAGOS.. MAYBE SOMEONE IN LIBERIA WHO KNOWS HER WILL READ OF THIS..COS OF THIS PHOTO.
THANKGOD FOR SOCIAL MEDIA. MANY THINGS HAPPEN IN NIGERIA DAILY THAT GO UNREPORTED! WE KNOW THE BIT WE KNOW TODAY JUST COS OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
SINCE OUR REAL JOURNALISTS ARE ALWAYS LAZY ON REPORTING NEWS, WE MANAGE THE GOSSIPS AND RUMOURS AND STICK IT ALL TOGEDA TO FORM OUR NEWS.
IT'S SO SAD TO SEE A SUICIDE VICTIM. ITS REALLY LACK OF LOVE, NOT JUST POVERTY OR SICKNESS. AND THE NIGERIAN SOCIETY IS JUST TOO HUNGRY TO SHOW LOVE TO THE NEEDY, NOBODY CARES, YOU ONLY HAVE FRIENDS IF/WHEN U ARE RICH. RIP LADY!
IF U HAVE SHOES, U ARE OVERDRESSED,IF U HAVE FAMILY, U HAVE MORE THAN U NEED. BE GRATEFUL FOR UR LIFE AND STRUGGLES, URS IS NOT THE WORST CASE!
