Life for Farida Abdulkabir popularly known as Farida Sobowale, was on the upward swing before she met and fell in love with another socialite, Demola Odulaja.

The lady took to social media to explain why she wanted to plunge into a lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos.
Abdulkabir who is also the owner of House of Phreedah cited frustrations, failed marriage and many others as what propelled her action on Thursday night.
In a viral voice note on social media, she said her N100 million marriage with another Lagos socialite, Demola Odulaja, crashed after two months.
Abdulkabir was seen being pacified to desist from jumping in a viral video, while rescuers were assuring her there was no need to take her life before she was whisked away into her vehicle and taken to an undisclosed destination.
The fair-complexioned entrepreneur and socialite owns a beauty lounge and spa located at Akerele Street, Surulere, Lagos.
As a fallout of her crashed marriage, Farida who could not endure depression decided to end her life as she alighted from her black-coloured Lexus Sport Utility Vehicle on the Third Mainland Bridge to plunge into the lagoon.

Abdulkabir said after Odulaja walked out of the matrimonial home, she’s been frustrated with many suicidal attempts.
She said, “Friends and families warned me not to go into the marriage. They told me that the man only wanted my money but I was recalcitrant.
“It was love that pushed me into this. He told me that he was going to be with me, make me bore children for him.
“I am so sorry for putting my children in such a position. I would not have forgiven myself if I had abandoned them after committing suicide.
“I have forgiven my ex-husband. May God provide him with another wife,” she added.
