A Psychiatric Specialist at the Psychiatric Department of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Albert Sedohia, has confirmed to Citi News that Evelyn Boakye, the Mawarko kitchen employee who was allegedly assaulted by her Lebanese supervisor, attempted suicide Thursday evening.
According to Dr. Sedohia, Evelyn nearly succeeded in ending her life, but for the intervention of her relatives who rushed her to the hospital.
“She could possibly have killed herself easily…People are complaining that she is pushing someone to jail or pay compensation so she is feeling very guilty. She is blaming herself so she could have possibly committed suicide if her brother and other relatives were not keeping a close eye on her.”
He revealed further that, she was admitted at the Psychiatric Department of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after battling with some mental challenges ostensibly as a result of the situation.
“When the psychologist was informed about the case, he did not know it was severe so the psychologist assessed her yesterday [Thursday], and realized that it was just beyond physiological intervention so he was referred for psychological evaluation. I realized that she was severely traumatized and she is currently not stable, and that warranted us to admit and put her on medication. I am just coming from the ward to see her. She is responding to treatment. She is responding to treatment gradually. It is going to take sometime but she will come out of it.”
Lawyer to file civil suit against Marwako
Meanwhile, a lawyer for the assault victim, Francis Xavier Sosu, has indicated that he intends to file a civil lawsuit against Mawarko Fast Foods after an Accra Magistrate Court on Thursday, granted bail to Jihad Chabaan, the supervisor at the centre of the alleged assault.
Mr. Chabaan is alleged to have dipped Evelyn’s face into blended pepper at the Abelemkpe branch of the fast food chain. The Management of Marwako suspended the supervisor after the allegations emerged.
The Lawyer noted that, the suit and any related actions will be based on the instruction of the victim and her family.

Am sure your comment will be different if she happened to your relative
she appears to be a lone ranger in this fight and this could explain the attempted suicide. a lot of suffering ghanaians are thinking of their salaries and are prepared to undergo any mistreatment to hold on to their jobs. she needs counselling for sometime to face the court proceedings and its aftermath. I wish her courage. for those accusing her of mischief, I have one word for them. C O W A R D S!!!!!!!!!
She is just exaggerating. I know very well and I can tell you bros that nothing serious happened to her. She can go to hell. Mtchewwww
This mawarko guy should not only be made to pay a fine but also be given a hundred lashes at the independence square at the full glare of every Ghanaian. This will serve as a deterrent to the other lawless foreign nationals who think my Ghana is place for lawless people. Ghana as a country should let those foreigners know there are laws governing the land and that everything will be done to enforce those laws. With all these being said, I advice the human rights group to keep their distance when the aforementioned suggestion is executed. That guy is an ***barred word*** and should be treated as such.
Oh God, a slave in her own country because of 300 job cut? What a disgrace! I will not sing the National Anthem as a teacher for 1 month in support of you Evelyn. Dont terminate your life. I can understand you but dont go this way please.
I simply cannot believe that some 1d10ts are rather blaming this lady for being assaulted. How? Are we that callous and m0r0n1c in this country?So now the victim is the guilty one? This is one of the reasons all our rivers are masses of flowing mud and we allow all these Chinese rats into the country to help destroy everything. And the annoying thing is that these Chinese[some of them ,mere kids]are armed to the teeth. Don't we have any self esteem?This is one of the symptoms of the worthless government we 've had for some time now.Young kids destroying farm lands for some paltry amount of money.The Lebanese,Chinese and all other foreigners are welcome to live here in so far as they play by the rules.If they loved their countries so much they will not be here,and to those insulting and blaming the young lady; so what if she wants compensation?Is that not what is done in civilised jurisdictions when people are maltreated? They should all hang their heads in shame.
I have a simple question, can the Ghana government,foreign ministry, immigration serice and the police and even the military deport a foreigner who has commited crimes against a Ghanaian native or not???If they dont know how to do it should I come down from europe and show or teach them how to do it???The only reason why that foreinger can still stay in Ghana is extreme corruption in our system and extreme low self esteem amongst the current generation.Because truly whether you like him or not Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah would not have tolerated this crimi/nality and disrespect to a beautiful young Ghanaian lady for a second.
A leopard is identified by its skin. A Ghanaian is identified by our good will. What dis man did is unghanaian. In fact may all those criticizing de lady have themselves or relatives go through similar ordeal so that they'll know how it feels like.
Drama
All those speaking ill to this lady that may have pushed her to the verge of committing suicide should bow their heads in shame......... Of what business of hers is it if that 1de0t goes to hail or they pay compensation? Is it her fault that that thing of a supervisor or man thrust her face into raw pepper? Ghanaians will always sacrifice their own for anything with a fair skin.....if something untoward happens to the lady, Karma first will judge all those who are accusing her and secondly, unless MAWARKO or whatever they call themselves "up-root their entire building" and relocates to their country Lebanon. Whether "that thing" was born here hence a Ghanaian or not!!! Enough is enough!!! We will fight for our own now... He can be a Ghanaian in disguise kwraa, we care less.....
