While answering question from a journalists who sought to know what the Police was doing to arrest the increasing cases of suicide in the state, the Commissioner of Police stated that “it is not within the purview of the Police to tell you why some persons are taking their lives ”.“We all live in the society and we all know what obtains in the society today.
The only thing I will do is to ask Lagosians to take things easy. I see no reason why somebody should just end his life no matter the situation he or she find themselves they should believe God for changes, I think somebody is worse off than you and taking one’s life is not the solution to the problem. So, Lagosians should think twice, before anybody can think of doing such a heinous thing to himself” he added.
