Police Rescue Man Attempting To Commit Su!cide In Anambra

On Tuesday evening, police operatives from the Awada Division in Anambra State successfully rescued a man who attempted to take his own life by climbing a high-tension power transmission pole behind Grace of God Mission, off NEPA Road, Awada.

Upon receiving the distress information, the operatives swiftly mobilized to the scene, cordoned off the area to prevent danger, and controlled the large crowd that had gathered.

After several minutes of persuasion by the Police and some concerned members of the public, the man eventually climbed down safely. He was immediately taken into protective custody at the station, where he identified himself as Mr. Okwudili David Onyiba aged 28 years. 

Confirming the incident to newsmen, the spokesperson of the command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the state Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, has directed that the victim should undergo proper medical and mental health evaluation.

He further assured that the Command will provide the necessary support to ensure the victim’s well-being.
