Olukokun Adepeju, founder of hunger alleviation NGO, Kokun Foundation, has shocked many social media followers with a message about committing suicide.
The man popular for distributing food to the needy posted the message in Instastory on Sunday night.
“God knows I have never been so sad and depressed this way for a very long time. I feel like committing suicide.
“I feel so much depressed. Can’t believe this can happen to me. I am very sad and filled with pain. God I thought you had answered my prayers. This is so much for me,” he wrote.

The chilling message came on the day he congratulated Anthony Joshua for defeating Alexander Povetkin in a heavyweight boxing match at Wembley in London.
Adepeju always cut the picture of a happy person on social media and during his food distribution crusade.
A message on his foundation’s website reads: “My daily mission is simple: to put food on the tables of our hungry neighbours and get more people out of poverty and problems.
“Giving is not determined by how much you have but how much your heart truly desires to sacrifice.
“There are people who will starve to death today. There are people who have to eat mud pies daily.
“We don’t truly understand how blessed we are to feed the poor and help people who are in need. Feeding the needy is part of serving one another.”
The foundation has collaborated with celebrities like D’banj and Tonto Dikeh in the past.
It has also come under criticism by people who accuse its founder of betraying his supporters.
