The operatives of the FCT Police Command have rescued and arrested a man identified as Shuaibu Alhaji Yushau for attempting to commit suicide by climbing the Aso Radio mast in Katampe, Abuja.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement, said “Following a distress call from concerned citizens about a young man who climbed a very high mast with a placard at ASO Radio in Katampe at about 09:10 a.m, the operatives of the FCT Police Command swiftly mobilized to the location.
