Rafiat Amusat, widow of a young man who jumped into the Lagoon in Epe, Lagos, has spoken about his last moments.
She spoke about how he – Olalekan Odunare – used to speak about suicidal tendencies and his smoking habit.
According to her, Olalekan gave hints he could commit suicide but nobody did anything about it.
In a video in which she spoke, she did not, however, say whether or not she too did anything about the threat.
According to Rafiat, Olalekan was not really into drugs.
She said he used to smoke Arizona type of marijuana but he had stopped before his death.
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.”
