The police have commenced investigations into the death of a Lagos bank marketer Amarachi Ugochukwu who allegedly committed suicide on duty.
Police sources who confirmed the incident to FTN on Thursday, said that the incident is being investigated.
It was learned that Amarachi died by locking herself in the bank’s toilet and ingested pesticide.
Announcing Amarachi’s death on X (formerly Twitter), a user, Just Society shared a handwritten note reportedly written by the deceased, explaining that her decision was because of the hardship she faced in life.
The incident reportedly happened on Monday within the premises of the bank.
Ugochukwu had around 1pm made her way into the restroom, where she drank the pesticide, unknown to her colleagues.
Other members of staff had started looking for her when the phone she left on her table kept ringing and she was not around to pick the calls.
Police sources in Ikorodu said that Ugochukwu was later found dead inside the toilet with the bottle of pesticide and her suicide note.
In the suicide note trending online, the lady blamed hard economy for her decision to end her life, saying nothing was working well for her.
“Nothing is working in my life. My figures are low. My brain is clogged up. The economy is getting harder. My decisions are wrong. My mind is messed up. The future doesn’t seem bright at all. I see extreme hardship. I can’t bear the pain anymore,” she wrote in the suicide note.
It was learnt that the manager of Globus Bank, the bank where she was working, reported the incident to the police.
The bank manager had reportedly told the police that Ugochukwu locked herself up in the toilet to commit suicide, and she was found dead after the door was forced open.
It was also learnt that a medical doctor examined Ugochukwu and confirmed her dead.
“The corpse was removed by the police and deposited at Ikorodu General Hospital for autopsy. The police in Lagos are investigating the incident,” the police added.
The Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, is yet to comment on the incident. Several calls to his phone were also unanswered.
