A young Nigerian on-air personality identified as Oluwapelumi Orungbe, has committed suicide in Magodo, Lagos.
The sad news was announced by @N6OFLIFE, a popular on-air personality with Cool FM Lagos on his Twitter page.
According to @N6OFLIFE, Pelumi recently completed her National Youth Service and was an intern on his show.
He said the deceased was battling depression.
N6OFLIFE wrote in a tweet,
“Just Received News that my Intern Committed Suicide. Sharp, Pretty Young Girl tho a bit Reserved, Just did NYSC with her whole Life ahead of Her.
“I’m Numb & My Hands are Shaking. Depression is Real. Pls speak to Someone & Seek Help. RIP Pelumi. Heaven has no more Pain.
“I even had a longgg chat with her on Saturday, gave her Tips & Pointers to being a Broadcaster & gave her an Assignment she is to submit this Saturday.
“She was so Excited & Full of Life. Not an Inkling of a Clue to her Mental State. I’ve never felt this Helpless before.”
However many Twitter users assumed that the deceased is a popular OAP Pelumi S and N6 was quick to correct the mistake. He wrote,
“To my Fellow Radio Family, I did not mean our Popular Pelumi S. This was a new Lady attached solely to my Saturday Show.
“Sorry if I might have caused a slight Panic. Cheers!”
Meanwhile, many sympathisers have written a touching tribute to the young OAP and encouraged people to seek help if they are constantly depressed.
