A Nigerian man reportedly climbed up a mast on Katampe Hill in Abuja on Monday, July 8, 2024, threatening to take his own life if his demands are not met.

The man, who has not been identified, left a suicide note at the foot of the mast, listing his demands. He called for the return of the fuel subsidy and urged fellow Nigerians to join him in protesting for a better economy and improved conditions for citizens.

In the note, he stated, “These are the major Nigerian problems, and I’m ready to sacrifice my life for the solution to them. I am calling for fellow Nigerians to join me on this riot.

“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.
