Oluwatoye Bamgboye, it was gathered, was stopped from jumping into the Lagoon at 3rd Mainland bridge on Tuesday, April 5, 2022.

The police in a statement said that the elderly man disclosed that a personal challenge made him sell his house, land and car. With that, he still couldn’t solve the problem. He got a loan and the problem still persisted. 

He explained further that, he secured a job and on the resumption date, he was informed that the job had been given to someone else.

“Today being my birthday, I have decided to end it all. The burden and the frustration is too much for me to bear. My wife has abandoned me in the process,” he told the police.
