‘Okada’ rider attempts suicide💀 in Ogun over 💰N50,000 loan

A man identified as Abiodun Onipede was arrested for attempting to commit suicide over his inability to refund a 💰N50,000 loan.

Onipede apparently had tied a ➰rope to a tree and was about to hang himself when a member of the team who wanted to ease himself in the bush stumbled on him and stopped him in his suicide bid.

The suspect who's an Okada rider, had dropped out at 200 Level at the Federal College of Education, Osiele, Abeokuta, due to a financial challenge.

He was also said to have lost one of his children due to his inability to pay the 🏥hospital bills By the time he could raise the 💸money, Onipede, who was a member of staff of the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps, the condition of the child had deteriorated and he later died after a successful surgery, due to complications.

Thirty-four year old Onipede later said his inability to perform his responsibility as the head of the family led him to attempt suicide. He added that his failure to pay the ‘Lapo’ loan, an informal money lending scheme, forced him to take the decision to take his life.
