An unidentified man has climbed a mast on Katampe Hill in Abuja on Monday, declaring his willingness to sacrifice his life to address the pressing issues facing Nigerians.
The man reportedly left a suicide note at the base of the mast, demanding the reinstatement of the fuel subsidy and calling for other government measures to alleviate the hardships experienced by the populace.
The note read, These are the major Nigerian problems, and Im ready to sacrifice my life for the solution to them. I am calling for fellow Nigerians to join me on this riot.
In his five-point list, he wrote, On behalf of fellow Nigerians, I demand the following: Government should return fuel subsidy.
Government should declare a state of emergency in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Kaduna, Niger, and Borno on insecurity matters and take immediate action to clear terrorism in the above listed states and the country at large.
Government should open borders for food importation in order to eradicate food shortages in the country.
Government should immediately respond to the problem of out-of-school children, which is increasing rapidly.
