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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Yusuf, who hails\u00a0from Borno state lamented that he was frustrated by the unbearable economic realities.<\/p>\n
He demanded that the President reverses his decision on fuel subsidy as well as tackle insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n
Yusuf also wants inflation rate to stop rising while government opens border to allow for importation of food items.<\/p>\n
He equally wants the president to declare state of emergency in Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Katsina, Niger and Borno states towards ending banditry.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Rescue team led by Federal Emergency Management Agency later arrived the scene to persuade him not to jump.<\/p>\n
The team assured him that his demands will be channeled to the appropriate authority for immediate action.<\/p>\n
Yusuf has since been taken into custody by the Nigeria police<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
