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.
