A 32-year-old Amarachi Ugochukwu, a female marketing officer with a bank in Ikorodu, Lagos State, has taken her life.

Amarachi reportedly committed suicide through insecticide poisoning (Snipper).

She had at 1.00pm sneaked into the restroom of the bank where she drank the insecticide, Persecondnews learnt.

Other members of staff were worried and started looking for her when the phone she left on her table kept ringing.

She was later found stone dead in the restroom with the bottle of the insecticide and a suicide note on the floor.

From the suicide note, she took her life because of the harsh economy.

“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,” Persecondnews quotes from the suicide note.

Apologizing to her parents and other members of her family, she wrote: “I’m sorry mum, I’m sorry dad, I’m sorry Nene, Okwe, Toto, Nazor, Chuchu, Ifunanya, Dear Lord, have mercy on me!”

Meanwhile, her corpse has been removed by the police and deposited at Ikorodu General Hospital for autopsy.

Contacted, State Police spokesman, DSP Benjamin Hundeyin, has yet to respond to calls and text sent to him.
