A Cameroonian identified as Frederick Gino was on Thursday rescued from a high tension electric pole in Lagos.
The
incident which occurred at Adebisi Ogunniyi Crescent, Lekki Phase one,
attracted the attention of motorists and passersby who notified the state Fire
Service through the emergency toll free numbers.
The
Nation gathered that road users saw the man on the pole as early as 5:30am as
the community made frantic efforts to get him down without success.
Eyewitnesses
said the young man had climbed the pole with the hope of being electrocuted,
but luckily for him there was no electricity supply to the area at the time of
the incident.
He
was said to have attempted to cut himself when operatives of the state fire
service, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the Nigerian
Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) brought him down.
The
Nation gathered that the man sustained injuries during the rescue operation and
was taken to Oba Yekini Eleguishi Health Centre in Lekki.
According
to one of the eyewitnesses, the suicidal man disclosed that he does not know
how he got to Nigeria.
Confirming
the incident, the General Manager, LASEMA, Michael Akindele, said investigation
will be conducted on the matter.
“Security
operatives will conduct proper investigation on the matter. People should be
watchful, observe strange faces and other activities around them.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
