Why I attempted suicide – Oyo school worker

Published

on

The crisis generated by the inability of some state governments to pay civil servants their salaries as due appears to be getting compounded as a worker at the Oyo State College of Agriculture and Technology, Igboora, Tunrayo Shofolahan, attempted to take her life on Saturday.

Sofolahan, in an interview with Punch correspondent, confirmed that she took an overdose of an undisclosed drug.

She said, “I have debts to pay and other issues that require money to sort out. Money was not coming because our salaries have yet to be paid. I was fed up. So I took an overdose of some drugs. I was revived in the hospital. But my debt and troubles are still there.”
