Traders within the vicinity, who saw him jump into the river, reportedly drew the attention of security men around the area to the incident.
Our correspondent learnt that a commercial motorcyclist, Mohammad Abubakar, in response to the call for help, jumped into the river together with some fishermen.The Head of Media and Publicity of the Kwara State Fire Service, Hassan Adekunle, who said the victim was rescued before firemen arrived at the scene, said Olayinka was unstable when he was first brought out from the water.
The commercial motorcyclist who rescued him, Abubakar, said, “I was riding along this area when I saw people gathering around the river bridge. I decided to stop to see what was actually going on, and I was told the old man jumped into the river and there was nobody to help him. “When I discovered that the old man was still breathing, I waited for a moment to get police permission to rescue him and I immediately jumped into the river.”All rights reserved.

Is he a fisherman?
Kwara get river?
Very soon a Nigerian politician will come out to say he jumped because 'all our elders' are always high on drugs... Hardlife 4 naija 🤦🤦🤦
Is he ok
He couldn't pay up the 30k he is owing his friend & he was feeling guilty & ashamed 😭. So he thought of ending his life. May God deliver us from debt, poverty & shame.
