VIDEO: Man climbs Abuja power pole, calls on government to intervene on national issues

An unidentified man reportedly climbed a mast on Katampe Hill in Abuja on Monday, declaring that he was willing to sacrifice his life to solve the problem of Nigerians.

According to a suicide note left at the foot of the mast, he asked for the return of the fuel subsidy, among other requests for the government to ease the burden on Nigerians.

The note read: “These are the major Nigerian problems and I am ready to sacrifice my life to solve them. I call on my fellow Nigerians to join me in this uprising.”

In his five-point list, which focuses on some of Nigeria’s challenges, he wrote: “On behalf of my fellow Nigerians, I ask the following: ‘The government should return fuel subsidies.

“The government should declare a state of emergency in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Kaduna, Niger and Borno for security reasons and take immediate measures to clear terrorism in the above states and the country at large.

“The government should open the borders for food imports to eradicate food shortages in the country.

“The government should immediately respond to the rapidly increasing problem of out-of-school children.”

Channels TV reports that firefighters, the National Emergency Management Agency and other FCT officials were on site ready to respond.
