ANigerian man identified as Shuaibu Yusuf, from Borno State who had earlier climbed a radio mast on Monday morning to commit suicide in Abuja has blamed his decision on bad governance in Nigeria.
He demanded the restoration of fuel subsidies and declaration of a state of emergency on insecurity, and the government to take immediate action in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Niger, and Borno to combat terrorism and restore peace.
The man also requested opening of borders for food importation to tackle the food shortage crisis, and that the government should address the issue of out-of-school children.
The attempts to commit suicide by many Nigerians are not unconnected to the current economic challenges and hardships created by the failed policies of President Bola Tinubu.
For instance, last Tuesday, SaharaReporters reported how an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) took his own life at his residence in Abuja.
The deceased, a member of Course 5, was described as a diligent, efficient, and unassuming operative.
Reacting, the Commission said they were exploring possible factors which resulted in the suicide.
The EFCC spokesperson, Mr. Dele Oyewale also mentioned that an investigation was currently underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the suicide.
