Bamike ‘Bambam’ Olawunmi, a former BBNaija housemate, has helped save a Malawian woman who allegedly tried to take her own life under her husband's instructions.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Bambam revealed that the woman, a mother of three, was found on a water tank at Megamound Estate, Lekki-Ajah, with a rope around her neck. She called on the public for assistance in locating a rehabilitation center or suicide watch services.
“I need a phone number, address, helpline, or suicide watch center. This woman almost took her life at Megamound Estate, Lekki-Ajah,” Bambam wrote. “Her husband, two brothers, and side chic are inside the house with her three children. One of them is still breastfeeding! People are evil! How have we lost our humanity?”
In a follow-up post, Bambam shared that the Lagos state government had intervened in the situation. She expressed gratitude to actress Omoni Oboli and her team for their support in ensuring the woman’s safety.
“I have spoken to @justadetoun and Lagos state has taken over the case. The woman and her 3 sons are safe,” Bambam wrote.
She praised everyone involved in helping the family and urged women to speak out against domestic violence, emphasizing its severe emotional and mental toll.
“Prolonged exposure to domestic violence both physical and emotional can lead women to have mental break downs! Speak up and look out for women around you. Lagos Nigeria thank you,” she added.
