A man identified as Adedoye Emmanuel is currently in critical condition at the Igando General Hospital’s intensive care unit in Lagos State after attempting to take his own life by ingesting Sniper Insecticide.
This incident occurred at a hotel on Governor’s Road in the Ikotun area of Lagos, where Emmanuel had been staying.
According to reports, Emmanuel, a resident of the Agbado area in Lagos, was driven to this extreme measure by heartbreak from an undisclosed woman, as well as other life issues.
Unable to cope, he checked into the hotel armed with Sniper insecticide, Coca-Cola, and Action Bitters. He then mixed these substances together and consumed the dangerous cocktail.
As the concoction began to take effect, Emmanuel raised the alarm and fled his room.
Man Hospitalized After Ingesting Sniper Following Heartbreak
The hotel owner swiftly intervened and rushed him to a private hospital, where he revealed his motives before losing consciousness.
He was subsequently transferred to the Igando General Hospital’s intensive care unit, where medical staff are fighting to stabilize his condition.
Emmanuel’s full identity remains unknown, as he was not carrying any form of identification at the time of the incident. Additionally, the two phone numbers he provided before losing consciousness have either been unreachable or turned off.
The matter has been reported to the Ikotun Division Police, who investigated Emmanuel’s hotel room and discovered the empty can of Sniper insecticide.
A concerned individual, who wishes to remain anonymous, has generously offered to cover Emmanuel’s medical expenses at both the private and General hospitals. Efforts to contact his family members have so far proven unsuccessful.
