CRIME: MAN ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED SUICIDE RELEASED TO LAWYER ON BAIL
A man arrested for attempted suicide, Alhaji Yushau Shuaibu, has been released on bail to his lawyer after a test.
According to a statement by Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh in Abuja on Friday, said the FCT police command had on Thursday released Shuaibu on bail to his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
It would be recalled that Yushau had attempted to commit suicide, by climbing a broadcast mast belonging to Aso radio in Katampe, Abuja on July 8.
He was arrested and subsequently sent to the FCTA’s Social Development Secretariat for mental assessment and evaluation.
Although the assessment report indicated that he is mentally stable, symptoms of anxiety, persistent worry, and fears were observed in the course of profiling him.
The FCTA SDS recommended that the suspect should be allowed to report weekly in their office for further psycho-social care and support, hence the reason for admitting him to bail.
Following his release on bail, his lawyer is required to present him whenever his presence is needed at the command.
