According to Vanguard, A shocking incident has left the Warri and Uvwie local government areas in Delta State reeling after a lady in her 30s jumped from the Ekpan flyover to her death, exclaiming she was "tired of life." The tragic event has sparked widespread reactions, with many calling for government intervention to prevent similar incidents in the future. The lady's desperate cry for help before her fatal jump has left many wondering if more could have been done to save her.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as horrific, with some blaming depression, frustration, or spiritual manipulation for the lady's actions. Others questioned why onlookers did not attempt to rescue her, instead recording the incident. "It was like they were watching a movie," said a resident, who wished to remain anonymous. "They were shouting and filming, but nobody tried to help her." The lack of action from bystanders has raised concerns about the community's response to mental health crises.
The incident has prompted demands for the state and federal governments to erect protective rails on flyovers and bridges to prevent suicides. "This was how it started in Lagos, and now we're seeing it here," said a concerned citizen. "Government needs to take action to prevent more lives from being lost." The police have confirmed the incident, and residents are urging authorities to take action to prevent further tragedies.
