The police in Lagos on Thursday stopped a 19-year-old lady from killing herself
The unidentified lady was rescued by operatives of the Ikorodu Area Command, the spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, said.
He said the rescue efforts followed a tip-off from a concerned citizen that the lady was trying to ingest a harmful chemical known as Sniper.
“Upon rescue, the lady, whose identity remains confidential, confessed that she had been driven to the brink of suicide due to severe emotional distress.
“She revealed that she was impregnated by a man who subsequently refused to take responsibility for the pregnancy. Additionally, she had fallen victim to a fraudster who scammed her of her earnings from her Point of Sale (POS) business, further compounding her emotional and financial struggles.”
“The young woman is currently receiving necessary psychological support while investigation is underway to identify and apprehend all individuals involved in her predicament.
“The command also wishes to highlight the importance of mental health awareness and encourages anyone facing similar challenges to seek help promptly.”
