Farida Sobowale: Popular socialite reportedly prevented from jumping into Lagos Lagoon

Some Lagos residents have rescued Farida Sobowale, the founder of House of Phreedah Bodycare and Spa, who reportedly attempted to commit suicide by jumping into a lagoon from a bridge on Thursday.

She drove her Lexus SUV to the extension, descended and was reportedly going to hop into the lagoon when she was restrained by people.

According to a viral video seen by SaharaReporters, the Lagos socialite, who wore black attire, sobbed as she was held by some individuals who prevented her from jumping into the lagoon.

The marriage of Sobowale, a business entrepreneur popular in the skincare industry in Lagos, reportedly crashed a few days ago.

She had a lavish wedding about two months ago.

Her husband, Demola had reportedly moved out of their home.
