Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

he FCT police command has today, referred Shuaibu Yushau to the Social Development Secretariat (SDS) for psychiatric evaluation and assessment in light of his alarming behavior that caused widespread concern among the public on Monday.Yushau made an attempt on his own life by scaling a tall broadband mast at ASO Radio in Katampe, Abuja.

As per a statement issued by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, the individual in question, upon confirmation of mental stability following the examination, will face charges in court for the act of attempted suicide, disruption of public tranquility, and instigation, as stipulated in sections 231, 111, and 114 of the Penal Code Act.

The Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Benneth Igweh, has urged the populace to abide by the law while advocating for their rights to be voiced, emphasizing that the police force will not succumb to pressure that may lead to lawlessness.The importance of mental health evaluations in such cases cannot be overstated. It is crucial for individuals like Shuaibu Yushau to receive proper psychiatric assessment and support to address underlying issues that may have contributed to their actions.

This incident highlights the need for increased awareness and access to mental health services in communities to prevent similar occurrences in the future.Furthermore, promoting mental health education and destigmatizing seeking help for psychological struggles is essential. Encouraging open conversations about mental well-being and providing resources for those in need can help prevent crises like the one involving Yushau.

It is a collective responsibility to support individuals facing mental health challenges and ensure they receive the care and assistance necessary for their well-being.In addition to individual support, community-based mental health initiatives and crisis intervention programs play a vital role in addressing mental health issues effectively.

By fostering a supportive environment and offering timely interventions, we can work towards creating a society where individuals feel empowered to seek help without fear of judgment or discrimination. Let us strive to prioritize mental health awareness and advocacy to build a more compassionate and inclusive society for all.
