While the details surrounding the woman’s decision to take such drastic action are currently unknown, some speculate that it may be linked to the economic hardships currently facing the country.

In a terse post accompanying the video, someone wrote:
“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.”
After landing on the tarred road, those standing by were heard in the video lamenting her tragic action.
No official statement has been released to ascertain the identity of the deceased and her family.
