Nigerians have reacted to the story of a naked man who attempted to commit suicide this morning after starving for an undisclosed number of days.

The yet to be identified man reportedly climbed Ojota power line in Lagos with the intention to jump down and die.

It was gathered that the man after being rescued by concerned residents, revealed that hunger pushed him to the decision to end it all.

Reports said the man, who looked unwell, threatened to jump down if he was not given something to eat.

It was gathered that a car dealer had to bring out the sum of N5,000 to show the man before he started climbing down from the high tension pole.

A witness said when the man was close to the ground, officials of the Ikeja Electric and police officers at the scene climbed up and helped him down.

The police officers later took him to a nearby police station at Ojota.

The witnessed added that the man looked hungry and haggard when he came to the scene, noting that nobody suspected that he wanted to climb the high tension pole.

Fege4833: He knew that was the only way he could get attention from people, that’s so sad.

Kingsammy168: Now some people are pretending to be touched, but if this same guy walks up to them on the way and asks for help, they will call him lazy or if he opens an instagram account and types “hello everyone, please I need #2500 to buy food stuffs“, some people here will call him a scammer. Please help if you can and ignore wether you are scammed or not, besides you gave out of freewill. You don’t know the struggle of the next man till you walk in the same shoes
