In response to some comments on his tweets, the police spokesman further said, “Even at the hospital, when he regained consciousness, he ran into an office, grabbed scissors, and stabbed his own throat. I am not here to play.”

Edafe did not also reveal why the victim wanted to commit suicide.
He said revealing such will jeopardise the investigation.
Trust me, u don't want to know the reason. Though, that will be a gist for another day cos if spilled now, it will jeopardize investigation
