A female marketing employee of Globus Bank in Ikorodu, Lagos State, has committed suicide.
The deceased, 32-year-old Amarachi Ugochukwu, was said to have drunk an insecticide.
Reports said the incident happened on Monday within the premises of the bank.
Reports further said that Amarachi, around 1pm on the fateful day, entered the restroom, where she drank the insecticide, unknown to her colleagues.
Other members of staff started looking for her when the phone she left on her table kept ringing but she was not around to answer the calls.
A police source confirmed that Ugochukwu was later found dead inside the toilet with the bottle of insecticide and her suicide note.
In the suicide note, the deceased 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.
Ugochukwu apologised to her parents and other members of her family in the suicide note.
“I’m sorry mum, I’m sorry dad, I’m sorry Nene, Okwe, Toto, Nazor, Chuchu, Ifunanya,” she wrote.
She concluded the note thus: “Dear Lord, have mercy on me!”
The manager of the bank had reported the incident to the police.
The bank manager reportedly told the police that Amarachi locked herself up in the toilet to commit suicide, and she was found dead when the door was forced open.
It was gathered that a medical doctor examined Amarachi and confirmed her dead.
