Alexis Beka Beka, the OGC Nice footballer who threatened to commit suicide by jumping off the Magnan viaduct on Friday morning, has been taken care of by the firefighters.
He is out of danger. Alexis Beka Beka had stopped on the emergency lane of the A8 motorway, on the Magnan viaduct, on Friday morning, and was threatening to jump.
Two negotiators from the gendarmerie and a psychologist were sent to the scene and attempted to convince him not to jump for several hours. Vinci Autoroutes had marked the area and closed the right lane. As a result, there were significant disruptions on the A8, with a traffic jam of about 6 kilometers.
According to information from France Bleu, Alexis Beka Beka finally changed his mind and climbed back up on his own just after 2 PM, after lengthy negotiations with the gendarmerie psychologist and the psychologist from the Azuréen club. His representatives deny the « breakup » story.
