“She killed herself by jumping off the flyover that leads to the refinery at Ekpan, a spot that has been quite familiar to me for decades now.
“Depression is real, and we would do well to regularly check on our loved ones, neighbours, friends, and colleagues, especially in these trying times.
“Depression is a disease that is actually treatable, and we must never, ever succumb to it.
“No matter what is happening, it is only temporary.
“Where there’s life, there is also hope, and that is one of the great mysteries of life.
“May her soul rest with Our Lord Jesus Christ.”
