In what appears to be a different form of protest, a man on Monday, July 8th climbed the mast of a broadcast station in Katampe, Abuja to express his displeasure over numerous challenges facing Nigeria.
The protester, Shuaibu Yusuf who climbed to the top of the mast, threatened to jump down if president Bola Tinubu fails to take urgent steps to address the situation.
Yusuf, who hails from Borno state lamented that he was frustrated by the unbearable economic realities.
He demanded that the President reverses his decision on fuel subsidy as well as tackle insecurity in the country.
Yusuf also wants inflation rate to stop rising while government opens border to allow for importation of food items.
He equally wants the president to declare state of emergency in Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Katsina, Niger and Borno states towards ending banditry.
He added that it was Long enough for government to standby and do nothing while Boko Haram, Bandits and Kidnappers continue to kill people in the country everyday.
Rescue team led by Federal Emergency Management Agency later arrived the scene to persuade him not to jump.
The team assured him that his demands will be channeled to the appropriate authority for immediate action.
Yusuf has since been taken into custody by the Nigeria police
