Lagos socialite: Why I wanted to jump into lagoon

Lagos socialite and owner of House of Phreedah, Farida Abdulkabir, has revealed the reason she wanted to jump into a lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.

The Star had reported that Abdulkabir was rescued at the Third Mainland Bridge on Thursday, August 17, 2023, while attempting to commit suicide.

However, the entrepreneur, in a viral voice note on social media, disclosed that she attempted suicide after her N100 million marriage with another Lagos socialite, Demola Okulaja, crashed after two months.

She said: “Friends and families warned me not to go into the marriage. They told me that the man only wanted my money but I was recalcitrant.

“I am so sorry for putting my children in such a position. I would not have forgiven myself if I had abandoned them after committing suicide.”

Abdulkabir, whose beauty lounge is located at Akerele Street, Surulere, Lagos, married Okulaja in an elaborate ceremony about two months ago.

Okulaja was said to have later packed out of the house following a series of domestic violence between them.

The situation led to both of them giving out family secrets on social media, attacking and calling themselves unprintable names.
