Surulere based popular skincare vendor, Farida Sobowale of “House of phreedah bodycare” who was rescued after attempting to take a plunge from Third mainland bridge yesterday evening, August 17, is having crisis in her less than 11 weeks old marriage.
She was said to have driven her Lexus SUV to the bridge, came down and in tears, was about to jump into the Lagoon when sympathetic by – standers moved swiftly and rescued her.
The skincare expert has been in the news of late over rumours of her crashed marriage.
Sources claimed that apparently touched by the reports of the crisis in her marital home, Farida probably thought ending it was the solution and she was seen in videos in which some people were stopping her from carrying out the risky steps on the Third Mainland Bridge, Thursday evening.
A facebook user, Telvine McMichael, in his counter-comment on the trending video of showing where Farida was being rescued, described her as a very rich woman, Importer and philanthropist who is a victim of exploitation by a man.
“She is a big business woman in my Area in Surulere. She is the owner of House of Pheredah. This woman takes care of some many people i know. A big importer of Cosmetics.She fell in love with a man, who choose to make her a public ridicule. Quite unfortunate, her family and very close friends should please help her get over this predicament.
“The society should remove all her story from the social media and fish out that guy to stop all the rubbish he is doing, after exploiting this woman. As a matter of fact, i call on the Nigeria police, DSS to fish out that guy. Nigeria cannot afford to lose this big employer of labour, a big philanthropist,” Telvine McMichael stated.
Farida and her husband, Demola Okulaja, another socialite and Lagos Big boy, married recently. The elaborate wedding which attracted many Lagos socialites and dignitaries was estimated to have cost well over N100million.
