Wife Of Man Who Jumped Into Lagoon Speaks
Olalekan Odunare, a diploma holder who leaped into the lagoon, was married to Amusa Rafiat, who spoke out about the unfortunate tragedy.
As previously reported by NEWS DIRECT, Odunare’s body has been discovered, according to a family member.
Odunare’s wife went on to say that her husband has been suicidal for a long time and has repeatedly spoken about it, but no one has taken him seriously.
Rafiat stated her husband’s attitude had changed overnight and that some people thought he was on heavy drugs in a video that went viral on social media.
When questioned if her husband used drugs, she said he didn’t and that he had only used marijuana in the past.
She said: “My name is Amusa Rufiat from Oyo State but my parents reside here in Epe. My husband’s name is Abdulrahman Odunare Olamilekan.
“He had been speaking of it (suicide) even for some days but he was not monitored properly. If he was, the case would not have been as bad as this. No one took him seriously. They all thought he was under the influence of Colorado (hard drugs), so they didn’t even evaluate what he was saying. He didn’t take Colorado but he used to take Arizona but it had been long he took Arizona.
“Since the incident, I have not seen anyone from my husband’s family I have only seen people from my family and I have no friends but whatever anyone has to give will go a long way. Like what he said before he died, that I shouldn’t allow his daughter to suffer. I plead with all Nigerians to help me.”
