Neighbours of 47-year-old Lagos accountant, Afolake Abiola, have alleged that the deceased died by suicide because of an undisclosed ailment.
Recall that the accountant who had been an employee of one of the telecommunication companies for over 15 years took her life last Friday in her apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos.
One of the tenants, a retired civil servant, Mr Patrick Olumhense, who spoke with the Vanguaud, said that Abiola suffered from an ailment gotten from her depression.
He said: “We were just neighbours, not relatives. We didn’t know about the death until her relatives woke us up that morning. It is a sad tale to recount. She was a very sociable and humble neighbour to us all. But she loved to be on her own.
“Quite honestly, she appeared like someone who had mental challenges. Before her father died, we used to see him rush down to the house on occasions when it seemed she had a kind of attack, he would calm her down, take her for some kind of therapy and bring her back to start a normal life.
“That happened for quite some time and was managed by the father until the man died.
“Since her father died, nobody was playing that role for her, except the younger sister who came once in a while.

“For us as neighbours, we were aware of this problem. Whenever the attack came, we would contact her sister or brother. But this time, she didn’t exhibit any symptoms.”
