The tensions in the society, along with other social problems and economic hardship have not only led to burgeoning cases of spousal infidelity, but has also fuelled rising cases of depression and its concomitant effect – suicide – in the country, most, especially, in Lagos.
The most recent which has drawn attention to this rising unwholesome phenomenon was confirmed last week by men of the Edo State Police Command that the mother of ‘Mummy calm down’ boy, Mrs Toluige Olokoobi, had committed suicide.
In view of this, it was reported last week that the police had arrested Mrs Olokoobi’s husband in respect of the sad incident.
