An unidentified man has climbed a tall billboard at Gadar Lado area in Zaria road, Kano state in a suspected attempt to commit su!cide on Monday.
Eyewitnesses said the man has remained perched on the billboard for over an hour, muttering inaudibly to himself.
His actions have caused a severe traffic gridlock in the area, prompting swift intervention from the police to manage the growing crowd and restore order.
An eyewitness Mujahid Ameenu told newsmen that the man had been atop the billboard for over an hour now.
“We still don’t know why he is up there. I was passing when I saw the crowd and stopped to see what was going on. The police are doing their best to disperse the crowd so traffic can start flowing again”
As at the time of filing this report, the man remains in the same position while authorities have yet to confirm the his identity or his motive for the daring act though speculations are running wild among those gathered that it could be due to economic frustrations.
