Man Rescued From Attempted Suicide By Delta Police

Spokesman of the command, Edafe Bright stated this in a tweet on his handle.

Edafe did not, however, reveal the name of the man.

According to him, the rescue followed a distress call received by the PCB line from a caller who said his brother was about to commit suicide.

The police spokesman noted that the victim gave an address where his corpse will be, adding that upon receipt of the distress call, policemen swiftly went to the hotel where he locked himself.

Edafe said the victim had already slit his wrist, noting that he was rescued and taken to the hospital.

“A distress caller called the PCB line and reported that his brother was about to commit suicide, the victim gave an address where his corpse will be, and our men swiftly went to the hotel where he locked himself. He had already slit his wrist. He was rescued and taken to the hospital,” Edafe said.

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.
