An unidentified man climbed a mast on Katampe Hill in Abuja on Monday, stating his willingness to sacrifice his life to address the problems facing Nigerians.
According to a suicide note he left at the base of the mast, he demanded the return of the fuel subsidy and other measures to alleviate the burdens on Nigerians.
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 in this protest.”
In his five-point list addressing Nigeria’s challenges, he wrote: The government should return the fuel subsidy. The government should declare a state of emergency in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Kaduna, Niger, and Borno due to insecurity and take immediate action to eliminate terrorism in these states and across the country. The government should open borders for food importation to eradicate food shortages. The government should immediately address the problem of out-of-school children, which is increasing rapidly.
Channels TV reported that operatives from the Fire Service, the National Emergency Management Agency, and other FCT officials were present to intervene.
In September 2018, a 28-year-old man named Nurudeen Lliyasu also climbed a telecommunications mast in Abuja to protest the poor economy in the country.
