The man who plunged into the Festac-Link Bridge Canal yesterday, April 8, 2017, has been identified as Bayode Ahmed Lawal, an Industrial and Applied Chemistry graduate of Unilorin, Kwara State.
According to Festaconline, the ordeal started from Mobil filling station when Bayo started lying down on the floor. He was with his friends at this time. His friends beckoned on him to stand up trying to find out what was wrong. .
He stood up and then started walking fast, then started running towards the bridge. His friends tried to stop him, chasing him, before they could get hold of him, he had already jumped into the canal. .
Before this some, individuals said it seemed he had some psychological issues. His body is yet to be retrieved. Bayo left behind his mother, a single mom, and his other siblings. Some said the psychological issues comes once in a while.
He has no psycho. Problem depression is bad,,,that’s why when I see ppl say they are depressed n post it,,,I laugh cis if depression hit u is either u commit suicide or survive it
Depression is so real….
Investigations should commence about his place that were with him at the at particular time he was lying down , stood up anf started running because that Mobil filling station is known to be a den of drug traffickers selling narcotics that ranges from Indian hemp to Cocaine… Maybe he was frustrated and introduced to something he hadn’t taken before… Because it’s obvious that he has been living with this problem until that very day… So why then run to commit suicide at that particular time… Maybe the drugs had made him conclude that he was actually mad as his family perceived… Trust me I know that area well.
Investigations should commence about his friends with him at that particular time this started and also the location beside the Mobil filling station… A place called “Market” where they sell hard drugs that could also be a possible lead to solve this mystery case.
Suicide is the raining thing, once one person did it at Festac Canal, another will follow and so on. Likewise on the third mainland bridge. The thing is a lot of people have thought about it, but did not know how to fulfill it, until we started talking it when it happen.
May be it’s flakka who knows
Good suggestion.
I’ll say your post won’t explain his last tweet/post.
It should be investigated still, we might save many others thru psychotherapy and rehabilitation.
It’s really saddening.
Depression is very bad because once it comes if not by God’s grace one will think otherwise
Only God understands what truly happened to this young man but I know depression is real. It’s either you treat it or it kills you. May his soul Rest In Peace
what a pity, one thing I found out about we Nigerians we feel we are too strong to overcome our emotions, too afraid to cry out or say it for people to help, but deep down when we are alone this emotions overcomes us and many can’t bear it. families are best to help at this time they must have known about the depression if they were careful enough so as to assist him.
Really sad…
