Suicide Man At Synagogue Arrested.
A 30-year old man has been charged to Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, for allegedly attempting suicide inside the Synagogue Church Of All Nations, SCOAN, while the service was going on.
The suspect, Bassey Ude, an indigene of Cross River State, South-South Nigeria, was alleged to have jumped from the upper gallery of the church to the altar in an attempt to kill himself, the prosecutor said.

During the suicide attempt, the suspect sustained serious injuries on his right arm.
The suspect, it was gathered, was allegedly restless after futile efforts to see T.B. Joshua.
Ude had travelled to Lagos from Cross River State to see Prophet T.B. Joshua but was prevented by security men in the church.
After the suicide attempt, security men held him and handed him over to the police at Ikotun division, who later charged him to court for the offence.
