Residents of Isawo Community in Ikorodu, Lagos State, were on Monday thrown into mourning after a 23-year-old lady committed suicide over alleged abuse from her elder brother.

The lady, identified as Sherifat Suleiman, was said to have committed suicide after efforts to ensure that her elder brother stops molesting her proved abortive in Ikorodu-West Local Council Development Area (LCDA).

After efforts to ensure her brother stops the abuse failed, the lady, described as gentle by neighbours, was said to have fed up and consumed a substance that was believed to be a poisonous liquid.

An eyewitness narrated that Sherifah was discovered by residents to have taken the substances after they sighted the deceased writhing in pains and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

He added that the 23-year-old, who had visible marks of assaults on her right thigh, died a few minutes before she was rushed to a hospital in the council.

When The Guild contacted the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Bala Elkana, he assured our correspondent to call back later and at the time of writing this report, the police spokesman was yet to call back.

If sh had a bf, it wouldn't have happened... Many times without a partner, we feel so lonely.... Ladies should remove this "he wants sex" from thier mind..... Cuz there are also other stuffs a lady can gain in a relationship other than losing sex

Low self esteem which is usually the key reason to depression has taken more souls than alcohol had and will.

Too bad.. RIP
