A man was saved from commiting suicide by hanging himself in Lagos
A viral video shows bystanders in Lagos saving a man from committing suicide. The man had tried to hang himself from a banner on a bridge, but the intervention of concerned passersby saved his life.
The incident highlights a growing problem of suicide in Nigeria, as highlighted by a 2019 report by the World Health Organisation, which noted that Nigeria has become an epicenter for suicide in the world.
The report recommended improved awareness of suicide as a public health problem and its risk factors, and improved access to appropriate, evidence-based care for people at risk of suicide.
