Man Rescued from Suicide Attempt After Allegedly Catching Wife Cheating on Video Call
A distressing incident has gone viral on social media, showing a Nigerian man being rescued from a suicide attempt after he allegedly caught his wife cheating during a video call. The undated video, shared on X, depicts the unnamed man at a location presumed to be a beach, where he is being consoled by a policeman and surrounded by witnesses.
The man is seen holding a phone during an apparent video call, which is said to be with his alleged cheating wife. In the footage, some witnesses slap and insult him for attempting to take his own life over a cheating partner. Speaking in Yoruba, one witness is heard saying, "You want to k!ll yourself because of a woman. You are an unfortunate person."
The same witness asks the man, who is weeping profusely and trying to escape further hits, to explain what happened with his wife. The distraught man then sits on the floor and continues wailing. As the policeman pulls him up to console him, another witness remarks in Yoruba, "Someone is sleeping with his wife at this moment."
The 50-second video concludes with the policeman leading the still sobbing man away. The incident highlights the emotional turmoil and public reaction to infidelity, sparking widespread discussion online about mental health and relationship issues.
