WOMAN WHO LOST HER TWO CHILDREN IN LAGOS BUILDING COMMITS SUICIDE

TRAGIC: Woman Who Lost Her
Two Children In Lagos Building
Collapse Commits Suicide
The building collapse in Lagos Island on Wednesday
resulted in a mother, who lost her two children in the
incident, committing suicide after she received news of
the death of the children.
It was learnt that she gave birth to the two children, who
were between the ages of six and four, through
Caesarean Section (CS).
The woman and her husband live in Gambari area of the
Island.
Some residents of the area who narrated the incident
said she bought a bottle of insecticide called ‘Sniper’.
“Nobody knew what she wanted to do with the Sniper.
But a few minutes later, we saw the bottle beside her
where she was sleeping and we found out that she was
already dead," a neighbour, who preferred not to be
named, said.
Sympathisers thronged their house to condole with the
husband and family members.
Meanwhile, a mother, Yetunde, whose son was injured,
has been too traumatised by the sight of the boy lying
critically on the hospital bed, that she has not sat down
for over nine hours.
She was seen moving from one corner of the Lagos
Island General Hospital to the other in search of the
prescribed drugs and other needs demanded by the
doctors.
The boy survived the injuries and his two legs are in
Plaster of Paris (POP).
Recollecting the event of the past 24 hours, Yetunde said
she was the person who dressed the boy for school.
She had already left the house when she received a call
that the school, which her son attends, had caved in,
leaving many children trapped. She called on well-
meaning Nigerians to pray for the speedy recovery of her
son.
