Suicidal man climbs mast in Abuja
Rescue workers trying to get the man to come down After he climbs down from the mast
A suicidal man today climbed a
telecoms mast beside the Federal High Court in Abuja threatening to jump
down and kill himself, just a few minutes after lodging a complaint and
submitting a document at the court.
The man, Mallam Inuwa Musa Tawakalitu,
climbed the mast around 12 noon and threw a note down. In the note, he
wrote that he climbed the mast because he wanted people to intervene
in a dispute between him and former vice president - Atiku Abubakar, who
he claimed
owed him money.
owed him money.
He said he wasn't going to come
down until the IG of police himself showed up, but he was eventually
persuaded to come down by staff of the National Emergency Management
Agency, fire fighters and the police. I hear he was taken into custody
after he came down.
