<\/p>\n

Reno Omokri, a former New Media aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has sent a message to President Muhammadu Buhari over the high rate of suicide being committed by Nigerians.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that a music minister, Michael Arowosaiye sometime last week committed suicide. Michael, who reportedly left RCCG two years ago to Shepherd House Church where he served as a worship leader, was said to have taken his life following financial issues and the inability to pay his house rent.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Omokri called on Buhari to set up a National Suicide Prevention Team, ban the sales of sniper and also address the nation.<\/p>\n

In a tweet on Wednesday, Omokri wrote, \u201cDear President @MBuhari, SUICIDE is at epidemic levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge you to set up a National Suicide Prevention Team. Ban sales of SNIPER and similar substances.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut most importantly, address the nation and give hope to the hopeless. God bless you.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
