A yet-to-be-identified man has threatened to commit suicide over the hardship in the country.
In a video circulating online, the man climbed a broadcast mast on Katampe Hill in Abuja on Monday afternoon to demand the restoration of fuel subsidy, among others.
He vowed to take his own life by jumping off the mast if his demands are not met.
In a hand written note, he demanded that the federal government declare a state of emergency on insecurity in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Niger, and Borno states.
He also asked that borders of the country be opened for food importation and demanded that the FG address the menace of out-of-school children.
The note read, “These are the major Nigerian problems, and I’m ready to sacrifice my life for the solution to them. I am calling for fellow Nigerians to join me on this riot.”
