A man identified as Saheed Oladeji who attempted to take his own life and was rescued on Monday has rejected the gifts offered him

Oladeji attempted suicide by jumping into Osun river on Monday.

It was the third time Oladeji was rescued from suicide attempts.

An eyewitness Shukrah told The Nation: “Oladeji jumped inside the river on Monday morning. The residents of the area quickly notified the State Fire Service who rescued him from the river. He is a car wash attendant. He was pulled out of the river by men of State Fire service.”

In a video Oladeji confirmed he is from Iwinjobi’s compound in Osogbo.

He said: “I have a wife and children who are based in Lagos. I don’t want any cash donations from anybody. I am fine.”

Osun Fire Service spokesperson, Ibrahim Adekunle confirmed the incident.

He said: “That will be the third time that Oladeji will attempt suicide. We have rescued him twice.”

He said an ongoing rescue operation aimed at rescuing a man who jumped into a river in Ede on Sunday afternoon was paying off, while the corpse of a lady that jumped into Osun river last week has been found.
