Lagos Socialite Rescued From Jumping Into Lagoon

A Lagos-based socialite and beautician, Farida Sobowale, CEO of House of Phreedah Bodycare and Spa, was rescued by Good Samarithans after attempting to take her own life by jumping into the Lagoon in Lagos on Thursday.

Some passers-by, who were at the vicinity when she made the attempt, rushed over to grab her immediately.

Witnesses reported that she drove her Lexus SUV to the edge, got out of the vehicle, and was about to jump into the lagoon when the good samarithans intervened and stopped her.

In a viral video, the Lagos socialite was seen crying while being restrained by a group of people who stopped her from leaping into the lagoon.

Sobowale, who celebrated a lavish wedding just two months ago, was recently said to have separated from her husband a few days back.

This followed a heated altercation and exchange of words on social media. Her husband, identified as Demola, had reportedly moved out of their home.
