Actor Ayoola recalls attempting suicide when he discovered he was about to be a father

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

The actor said he became depressed and contemplated suicide after he discovered he was expecting a child. 

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

Speaking in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Ayoola 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."
