Man tries to kill himself by climbing up an electric pole

By -
 A man climbed up an electric pole this morning at Adebisi Ogunniyi Crescent, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos State, in a bid to kill himself. Fortunately, there was no power in the area.

Reports claimed that the man wanted to kill himself because he has no money and food. Police officers from the Maroko Division, Lekki, Lagos, were contacted and arrived the scene to stop him.

Fire service men also arrived the scene and deployed an air cushion in order to get him down safely.  On-lookers blamed the economy of the country for the situation.
