Former YFM presenter Princess Ada, popularly known as Ms Ada, has revealed that she once attempted to commit suicide following her claim that she was raped in 2015.<\/p>\n
In an interview with media personality Amanda Jissih, Ms Ada said she was emotionally shattered after the incident.<\/p>\n
She said although she maintained that she had been raped, police investigations later concluded that the incident was staged.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got too broken. I think I tried suicide in the hospital while I had police around me,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
Ms Ada explained that doctors and nurses at the hospital were aware of her mental state, so they were careful not to leave drugs or harmful items near her.<\/p>\n
However, one day, her caretaker made a mistake.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have this chunk of drugs they gave me. A lot, a lot of them. And usually, they don\u2019t keep my drugs around me. Because of psychological calculation, you foresee I will commit suicide. So, no drugs, no Dettol, none of that stuff are around me. But one time, for some reason, I think my caretaker forgot and left the Dettol and every other thing around me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
According to Ms Ada, the night her caretaker left the drugs by her, she woke up, gathered the drugs, and mixed them with a bottle of Dettol before consuming it all.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, I woke up at night. And I picked the bottle of Dettol with all the drugs that I had. I know that if you even take an overdose of those drugs, you can easily lose your life. I can read. So, I knew what I was taking. And so, I put all of them together. And then I added my Dettol to it. And then I took it,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n
She further noted that at the time, she was also dealing with severe sleep issues, barely managing 15 minutes of rest over several days. <\/p>\n
But after taking the detergent, Ms Ada said she slept more than she had in days.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I was having a sleep crisis. In like 72 hours, I can barely sleep for like 15 minutes. So in the ward, when they hear that Ada is sleeping, all the nurses will start shushing. Had I still slept? Had I still slept? Because I will not sleep. I\u2019m always up. I\u2019m always up. I\u2019m battling. When I took that thing that day, I woke up the next day at about noon,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She also revealed that before losing consciousness, she typed a note on her computer addressed to her best friend and lawyer, Simon.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I remember I typed. After taking it, I had my computer and I write every day of my life what is happening to me. So, my lawyer, Simon, was actually my best friend. So, I left him a note and said that in all of those things, I didn\u2019t know you before this, but you\u2019re the only one person who has shown me love and I appreciate you,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
What happened in 2015? <\/b><\/p>\n
Princess Ada, popularly known as Ms Ada (Adaeze Onyinyechie Ayoka) made headlines in 2015 after news broke that she had been abducted and gang-raped.<\/p>\n
Photos of the alleged act also circulated on social media at that time.<\/p>\n
However, police investigations revealed that she staged the rape incident. <\/p>\n
Ms Ada, at that time, said she hired the services of a private investigator to get to the bottom of the matter, and it was found out that she was a victim of sexual violence; thus, making the police report unacceptable.<\/p>\n
She also noted that it was after the incident that she got to know for the first time that she was suffering from a bi-polar disorder.<\/p>\n
