Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Police Command in Anambra says it has rescued a man who attempted to commit suicide by climbing a power transmission high-tension pole in Awada, Onitsha.<\/p>\n

The Command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Awka.<\/p>\n

According to him, police operatives attached to the Awada Division, on Tuesday evening, successfully rescued a man who attempted to commit suicide by climbing a power transmission high-tension pole.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn receiving the distress information, the operatives swiftly mobilised to the scene, cordoned off the area to prevent danger, and controlled the large crowd that had gathered.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter several minutes of persuasion by the police and some concerned members of the public, the man eventually climbed down safely.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was immediately taken into protective custody at the station, where he identified himself and disclosed his age,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The PPRO also said that the state Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, had directed that the victim undergo a proper medical and mental health evaluation.<\/p>\n

Orutugu assured that the Command would provide the necessary support to ensure the victim\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n

He appealed to members of the public to always seek lawful and peaceful solutions to personal challenges, and to reach out to family, friends, or relevant support groups in times of distress.<\/p>\n

He said that further developments would be communicated accordingly.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses attributed the victim\u2019s move to the ravaging economic hardship.<\/p>\n
