A 41-year-old woman identified as Shakirat Rasheed on Friday, committed suicide in Adeosun area of Apete a surbub of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Rasheed reportedly hanged herself after her friend whom she stood for as guarantor failed to repay a loan taken from a microfinance bank.
Her friend allegedly took the loan from a micro finance bank popularly known as LAPO but vanished, forcing the guarantor to pay the loan in bits.
Sources added that the loan “caused Mrs Rasheed’s depression and she seemed unable to bear the problem any longer, especially when officials of the micro-finance bank reportedly called her on Friday to see them in their office.
Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu, confirmed the story.

This friend friend ish ehnnn.......
ReplyDeleteMy mum helped her friend borrow from a bank 5 years ago. The lady disappeared to Ghana and her family members said they couldn't locate her. My mum lost so much weights then cos the bank was about other seize our properties. Luckily for us then, my hubby did some contracts and helped my mum pay off this money. Till date that money hasn't been paid even though the lady calls and cries that she will pay when she gets the money
DeleteSo sad.... Some people are wicked oo,some someone helped you and the best way to pay her back is to vanish
ReplyDeleteLoan stuff, I can't be a guarantor o, unless you are a loyal blood relative...then I don't mind.
ReplyDeletemy dear even a relative I will never stand as guarantor for again.my blood sis did this to me.I ended up paying the money and up till this minute she has not asked how far or thanked me.never again.
DeleteDid the poor lady commit a crime helping her friend secure loan?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of friend is that?
She didn’t have to take her life.
Rip shakirat.
What a pity!
ReplyDeleteLessons:
1. Do not put your trust in a human; better not borrow or guarantee a borrower except you have the money tucked in somewhere and you are willing to part with it without qualms.
2. Do not put your trust in wealth which develops wings and vanishes. Be content with what you have. Put your trust in eternal life and the riches beyond this life.
3. Take no decision in a haste; fret not for it only leads to evil
So sad for a lost soul: 😢😢😢
sad but the truth is that people can hardly be trusted with money this days..it's now even difficult to differenciate sincere people from fraudulent people
ReplyDeleteSo sad,d worst dey can do fr her is to embarass her and tk her to police station, if she explain wt happen,las las dey will tell her to be payn d amt she can afford,may her soul Rip and to her frd she is doom already.
ReplyDeleteI can't be a guarantor for a loan I can't convinently pay in case something goes wrong.... Trust these days is very hard to come by..
ReplyDeleteShe rests now
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a guarantor for a relative that used to live with us (works with a bank as a contract staff). She woke up one day and said she's gotten an apartment with her friends. It's what I wanted really......My space. My concern is my husband is her guarantor.....What if she misbehaves as she no longer stays with us. I thought about hubby withdraw as a guarantor but I don't want her job to be affected too. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteYour husband is her guarantor for the job not to borrow money.
DeleteIt's a measure taken by an Employer to ensure someone knows the employee's background and who/what she claims she is - her character, personal values, job experiences and that she would fit in to their company's ethics and culture.
Don't forget that employees submit their personal details next of Kin, hometown, addresses etc.
Should your husband's relative commit a fraud or an offence, the employer knows what to do.
So, don't tell your husband to withdraw his reference.
Anon 16:04 it's not just a measure to know if the person's claims are right but you also undertake responsibility for any financial misappropriation by the person. Wetin consign next of kin consign guarantee? Next of kin is mainly to know who to call in case anything happens to the staff while on duty.
DeleteDid the next of kin sign anything? Attach passport photograph? Please be guided. The banking industry and the banks do not joke with whoever stands as a guarantee for their staffs because if #1 misses and the staff disappears, the guarantee is the next point of call to recover anything. I've seen the specifications required before you can even be accepted as one- level 14 or working as a manager in a blue chip company, they must have the name of the banks you bank with and photocopy of your means of ID and you think it's just to verify if the staff is truly bearing Benson as a surname or not? I hear you.
My dear @13:57, your fears are very valid. Discuss with your husband and if you guys are not comfortable with it, I'm sure you guys can come up with an explanation to step down as a guarantor that won't alienate you guys from her.
I work in a microfinance bank, i have seen how friends repay friends evil for the good they did for them. Except your family memver, please dont guarantee people.
ReplyDeleteFamily members sef think it through
DeleteAll this Lapo that they will lock them in the toilet
Rip Shakirat
Family members are even worse. Don't guarantee for Any Human being..
DeleteOwo LAPO ..... Owo gbomule lantern.
DeleteChai!!! Wicked people everywhere paying evil for good.
ReplyDeleteSame happened to my ex fiance,the so called friend travelled abroad and cut off all communications. The bank staff almost disgraced my ex at work but at the end of the day they reached an agreement to be deducting a certain percentage from his salary every month. He paid back for a year plus. I learnt a huge lesson from that.
Some heartless friends have made it difficult for genuine people to get help.
Why didn't she relocate? From that area? Yes they do embarrass individuaks but it is not enough to commit suicide.
ReplyDeleteMay she rest in peace.
That LAPO stuff ... Hmmm,na wah ! Eeyah I so feel for her, she might have placed a curse on that evil friend before dying .
ReplyDeleteTurned a friend's plea to serve as a guarantor for a loan in millions. I just couldn't. I can't. I can do so for nuclear family. Anything g outside of it? Mba!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wicked friend kia
ReplyDeleteHer friend is heartless. I hope her soul will find satisfaction when she hears of her friend's demise. Wicked world we live in.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad.Trust no one.
ReplyDeleteMy children is the only reason i have not succumb to suicide. But now i smoke and take whisky heavily. I have stopped fighting. Whetever comes i take, what doesn't i leave....e be like say na only me for this life
ReplyDeletePlease, hang in there. Okay?
DeleteYou can't give up. living in defeat wouldn't help your children too. So for their sake too.... Fight on. May God come to your Aid. Amen.
DeleteMoney and friendship so not go hand in hand.
