THE
Iyana Adeoyo end of Ring Road, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, was
thrown into confusion on Thursday, at about 2:30 p.m when an
unidentified man in his thirties, attempted to kill himself by throwing
himself at oncoming articulated vehicles.
Nigerian Tribune investigations revealed that the man, an Okada
rider, had been apprehended by officers of the Oyo State commercial
vehicle registration unit who had, upon checking his papers, alleged
that they were fake.
The seizure of the Okada man’s motorcycle had shocked him.
He pleaded vehemently that he was not aware that the papers were not genuine.
However, his pleas were said to have fallen on deaf ears, a situation
which turned ugly, when the man attempted suicide as he flung himself
under an articulated vehicle, and then, a SUV.
His attempt, however, was futile as onlookers rescued him each time he did so.
He later went into shock and started foaming from the mouth, after
which some policemen arrived and carried him to the Adeoyo State
Hospital.
