Why I attempted suicide – Actor Ayoola

Nollywood actor and singer, Ayoola Ayoola has recalled his suicide attempt.

The ‘The Men’s Club’ actor said he became depressed and contemplated suicide after he was expecting a child he wasn’t ready for.

According to him, he wasn’t prepared to be a father so he decided to end it all.

Speaking in a candid interview with Chude Jideonwo, Ayoola said looking at his son now he regretted his action.

He said, “The time the pregnancy for my son came, I wasn’t prepared to be a father. I got depressed and almost took my life. I deliberately miscalculated while crossing the road so that I would be hit and the car just brushed me.

“I look at my son now and I’m like, ‘This is what I was about to miss? This is whose live I was about to destroy?’ This little boy would have been fatherless.”
