Man allegedly attempts suicide after allegedly catching wife cheating (video)

A video showing the moment a man was rescued from committing suicide after allegedly catching his wife cheating during a video call, has made the rounds on social media.

In the undated video shared on X, the unnamed man can be seen at a location presumed to be a beach being consoled by a policeman while surrounded by other witnesses.

The man is seen holding a phone during an apparent video call said to be with his alleged cheating wife. The man can also be seen being slapped by some of the witnesses who insulted him for attempting to take his own life over a cheating partner.

Speaking in Yoruba, one of the witnesses can be heard saying

“You want to k!ll yourself because of a woman. You are an unfortunate person.”

The same witness can also be heard asking the man, who was weeping profusely while running to escape being further hit, to explain what happened to his wife.

The distraught man then sat on the floor and continued wailing.

As the policeman pulls up the apparently devastated man to console him, another witness can be heard saying in Yoruba, “Someone is sleeping with his wife at this moment.”

The 50-second video ends as the policeman leads the still sobbing man away.
