A man, apparently tired of life, decided to take the easy way out by committing suicide but he took a rather curious way of ending it all by climbing to the top of an electric pole.
The
incident which took many by surprise, happened at Adebisi Ogunniyi
Crescent, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos State, when the man was found early this
morning on his suicidal mission.
Eyewitnesses
say the man looked scary hanging on the top of the pole, screaming that
he was going to jump down as some people frantically called police
officers from the Maroko Division who hurried to the scene to try and
persuade the man to abandon his suicide attempt
This
is not the first time someone would attempt to take the high pole route
to suicide. In March 2015, a naked man was found at the top of a
telecommunication mast in the same Lekki and it took lots of persuasion
for the man to come down.
