According to the reports, Farida drove her Lexus SUV to the bridge and alighted from the vehicle. Disturbingly, she appeared to be on the brink of jumping into the Lagoon, which prompted immediate intervention from passersby.

This unfortunate event highlights the importance of mental health awareness and the need for emotional support systems in times of crisis.
In response to the situation, Iyabo Ojo, who shares a close bond with Farida, revealed that she had recently been on the phone with her just before hearing the news.
Iyabo expressed regret that if she had been aware of Farida’s thoughts, she would not have ended the call. She acknowledged that Farida already had a plan in mind but managed to divert Iyabo’s attention.
Iyabo Ojo acknowledged Farida’s fortunate rescue and mentioned her intentions to keep the socialite in her prayers.

In related news, there are rumors circulating that Farida and her husband, Demola, have separated mere months after their lavish wedding ceremony in Lagos.
