The Adamawa State Police Command rescued and arrested a young man who climbed a 33kv high tension pole in the Mayo-Belwa Local Government Area headquarters insisting that he would only come down when President Bola Tinubu resigns.
It was gathered that on Friday morning, September 27, 2024, the market day of Mayo Belwa, the young man climbed the 33kv high tension along the Yola-Jalingo highway.
The police engaged the services of the locals in the area who finally convinced the man to come down on Saturday night.
The spokesperson of the command, SP Suleiman Nguruje, who confirmed the incident to Punch on Sunday evening, September 29, said that the man is in protective custody of the Criminal Investigating Department.
âThe command is going to parade the man on Monday for attempting a suicide, You know attempting to commit a suicide is a criminal offence under our constitution, so we are going to charge him to court, â the PPRO said.
Nguruje added that it is the constitutional duty of the police to protect lives and property and that when any individual wants to take his life, he will face the full wrath of the law.
