12 Year Old Girl Commits Suicide In Mushin Lagos State | MUST SEE

A 12-year-old girl identified as Mulikat Hassan, was found dead around 6pm, dangling from the ceiling of her parents’ one-room apartment located at 102, Mushin Road, Ikate, Lagos. 

Parents of the deceased Mr and Mrs Hassan were said to have come back from work to behold the gory sight. An eyewitness described how they discovered the deceased body dangling from the ceiling;

“When her mother came back from work, she met her other children playing outside the compound and asked after Mulikat. They told her that she was in the house. On getting to the room, she met the door locked from inside and began to knock, thinking that she was asleep. After banging on the door for some time and calling her name, Mama Mulikat became so worried that she had to scream for help. When we got there, we knocked for a while, still there was no response from inside. So, we broke down the door. The sight was gory. Mulikat had tied a rope to the ceiling fan of the room and hung herself. Her body was dan­gling. I feel she had been hanging there for hours since the saliva from her mouth was almost dried up,”he narrated.

Another eyewitness claimed a neighbor who has been making advances on the teenager may have raped her forcing her to commit suicide;

“There is a man in our compound who has been making advances to the young girl. She had complained several times and the issue had caused arguments between Mulikat’s parents and the man many times. I suspect that the man might have raped her and maybe due to the frustration, she committed suicide,” a source disclosed.

Meanwhile, the police have arrested about eight suspects in connection with the incident
