A tailor, identified as Funmi and popularly known as Iya Hamida, has reportedly committed suicide at 4, Adebiaye Street, off Tejuosho Road, Yaba.
The incident took place at a Boys Quarter behind the late tailor’s shop at 4, Adebiaye Street, off Tejuosho Road, Yaba.
According to the Nation, Residents could not disclose how and why the deceased took her own life.
However a trader said: “When she was passing my shop just this morning, I was calling her but she ignored me. Not until I heard she committed suicide.”
The deceased boss, Iya Sewa, who hired her as an assistant tailor said the reason for her action was best known to her. According to Iya Sewa, she didn’t show any signs of depression.
“I don’t know her reasons of choosing to kill herself; the only thing I know was that she was complaining over the contribution money she was meant to collect last week.
“She called me on Sunday that she wanted to collect her contribution money from a thrift collector (Alajo) and that if he (the Alajo) fails to give her the money. Wahala ma se le o (there’ll be trouble).”
