British-Nigerian singer Moelogo
British-Nigerian singer Moelogo has spoken about how he was at the point of committing suicide after being falsely accused and framed by his friends.
The singer sheds light on the devastating impact of betrayal on his mental health which nearly destroyed him.
Moelogo stated that before the incident, he had always believed that suicide victims were helpless.
In a recent interview with Lagos Cool FM, the musician narrated how his friends stopped him from ending his life.
He claimed that his friends he had known for over a decade attempted to blackmail him to extort money from him because they thought he was wealthy.
The singer stated that the incident nearly discouraged him from assisting others.
He said: I used to think people who commit suicide were weak until it happened to me. Then I realised that its not about you being strong, it can happen to anybody. That was the first time I ever felt like, ˜Whats the point? Let me just go.
Im just grateful that I had at least two people around me that time that showed me that ˜Guy, youre here for a reason. Dont worry, this will pass. And I thank God that I had evidence of what they were trying to accuse me of. The evidence was audio evidence from one of their family members. I heard my friends planning what they were about to do and I just cried. It was crazy. The audio evidence was what saved me from the law.(The Nation: Text, Excluding Headline)
