In an interview with New Telegraph, he revealed how he was saved from jumping by the Rapid Response Squad (RRS). Read what he said below:

“I have been sick for a long time. This illness started when I was just 22 years old. It all started after I visited a house I was building in Ibadan. Later that day, when I was taking my bath, I felt a burning sensation on my body. I felt really hot. I couldn’t sleep for days. Since that day, I have been feeling restless. I can’t even sleep. I spent two months at a Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba. The doctors were unable to cure me of the illness.

On on July 24, 2016, I went to the Third Mainland Bridge. I was about to jump when RRS men saved me. For anyone to kill himself is not an easy task. If it is easy, I would have done long ago.”

Since his rescue, his family have continued to take care of him.
