A disturbing video which has taken over social media trends captures the moment a young Nigerian man, popularly known as “Best,” tried ending it all by consuming a toxic cleaning agent.
The incident, which occurred in Sapele, was reportedly triggered by a sudden breakup with his girlfriend.
The footage, which has since gone viral, highlights the devastating intersection of emotional trauma and mental health crises among the youth.
In the harrowing video, the young man is seen holding a bottle of Hypo, a potent brand of bleach.
He is captured pouring the chemical into a glass and drinking it while appearing visibly distressed.
The scene quickly turned chaotic when a woman, believed to be a witness or relative, is heard screaming in the background.
Her desperate cries of “Best, please wake up!” echo through the recording as she attempts to rouse him from a state of semi-consciousness.
Subsequent clips show the victim being lifted and rushed into the back of a vehicle. Onlookers and neighbors assisted in transporting him to a nearby medical facility in Sapele.
While hospital sources have confirmed a patient matching his description was admitted for chemical ingestion, his current medical status remains unclear.
