Police operatives deployed to third mainland bridge have intercepted one Adeyinka Abiodun, 45, of Abaranje road, Ikotun, attempting to jump into the lagoon.

Confirming the development, the Police Public Relations of the Lagos State Police command, SP Bala Elkana said that the man was rescued at about 1.35pm on Friday 31st July, 2020 and was taken to Bariga Police Station for questioning and debriefing.

Elkana disclosed that the man, upon interrogation, stated that in March, 2020, he procured a loan of N390,000 with monthly repayment plan for six months and accrued interest of N142,287.25 from a Microfinance Bank in Lagos Island.

He noted that according to the man, the loan was collected with intent to upgrade his wine retail business, but the business failed and the money lost.

“He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics and a Masters Degree in Business Administration. He is married with two children. He is currently attending medical and counseling sessions.

“The Microfinance Bank was contacted and they confirmed the loan. The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, moved with compassion, came to the rescue by repaying the loan”, the PPRO said.

He revealed that worried by the rate in which people were killing themselves, the Commissioner of Police Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu enjoined Lagosians to always explore other means of addressing life challenges than resorting to taking their own life, as suicide was never an option.

“This is the 8th suicide attempt successfully foiled by the Police in Lagos in the last two months. He calls on well-meaning individuals to always reach out to the needy and less privileged persons around them. Together we can stop suicide”, he concluded.
