A man identified as a Nigerian allegedly committed suicide because Italian authorities asked him to leave the country.

A video which was posted by a Facebook user, Timothy Erigbemi Shorunke Aca, on his timeline showed the man atop a building, perched precariously on the edge. The man looked down over his shoulder then flipped backwards to his death.

Passers-by immediately rushed to his rescue.

The location and authenticity of the video and the story behind it are yet to be verified by wuzupnaija.com.
