The body of the man, who jumped into Festac canal on Saturday, was yesterday recovered by the police.
The man may be suffering from mental disorder, it was learnt yesterday.
According to his friends, the late Lawal, suffered from “periodic mental illness”.
It was gathered that the graduate of Industrial and Applied Chemistry from the University of Ilorin, was with his friends, at a gas station where he was said to have acted strangely. He reportedly left the gas station for the canal.
His friend could not catch up with him before he jumped into the canal.
The friends, who took to social media to express their sadness, claimed that he was rolling on the floor at the gas station, adding that all efforts to persuade him against committing suicide failed.
Lawal posted tweets on his Twitter handle suggesting that he was depressed and tired of life.
There were tweets on his strained relationship with his mother and how everyone around him thought he was unwell.
One of his posts read: “The way out should never be suicide, but I am making an exception. For mine is a peculiar case. Is it really worth the wait?”
On February 24, he tweeted his plans to end it all, but no one paid attention and in an earlier post he wrote: “No more lies. The end…Painful dream.”
On April 4, Lawal wrote: “I am god. Faced everyone in my entire world alone even my family was against me. Kept saying I was mad, but here I am.
