I
got this exclusive photos and story from people who live in the
area...Olaitan street in Masha, Surulere. According to eye witnesses,
they woke up early Saturday morning and saw a man known in the area as
Afeez climbing the PHCN high tension electric pole you see above. (Photo
on the left). Afeez had told friends the previous day that he didn't
want to live anymore. A large crowd gathered and repeatedly begged him
to come down, which he eventually did.
After he got down, (Photo on the right - Afeez is the one in Lemon
shirt), people started slapping him around and abusing him for wanting
to commit suicide, instead of getting him help. His friends eventually
carried him away and the crowd dispersed.
That same night, Afeez succeeded in killing himself.
The following morning, which was yesterday Sunday
Sept 1, neighbours woke up to the sad news. Afeez had succeeded in
killing himself. He drank poison in the night and died.
Afeez'
body being removed from his home...wrapped in white cloth. Truly truly
sad. If only suicidal people get the help they need before killing
themselves.
