In Lagos, a man attempted suicide in a busy area but was stopped by bystanders who intervened just in time. Witnesses said the man, visibly distressed, had attracted attention from people nearby. Responding quickly, a few individuals managed to pull him away from danger, likely saving his life.
However, the situation took a disturbing turn after the rescue. Some members of the crowd who initially gathered to help began to express frustration and anger toward the man.
Reports suggest that a portion of the crowd started beating him, perhaps out of annoyance at the disruption or a lack of understanding of his actions. The sudden aggression left some onlookers shocked, as what began as an attempt to help turned into a violent response.
This incident has sparked discussions about the need for understanding and compassion when dealing with individuals in crisis. Mental health advocates in Nigeria have expressed concern, emphasizing that those who attempt suicide often require immediate support and care rather than punishment.
