Unionists have raised alarm over rising cases of suicide, crime, murders and mental illness, saying the current trend is triggered by hardship and poverty.

Expressing their worry over the hardship across the country, they charged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s led regime to address the issues to prevent mass action which could break out from any part of the country.

According to them, the country is sitting on a keg of gunpowder which may blow up any moment as the masses are being pushed to the wall on a daily basis with the dishing out of anti-masses policies.
In a chat with LEADERSHIP, Comrade Aliu Katsina said, “Although mental illness has always been happening amongst human, but it has increased astronomically because of poverty, hardship and idleness after weeks of hopelessness in getting payable jobs coupled with biting hunger on daily basis.”

On her part, Comrade Hajia Hassan told LEADERSHIP that, ” information on Pages of our newspapers or listening to radio are all pointing to the fact that Nigerians are sitting on a keg of gunpowder which may blow in any direction. It’s unimaginable that some mothers who carried a pregnancy for nine months and fathers are now hawking their children for sale to make ends meet. It is painful to read that a father killed his 17 years child with a shovel out of mere provocation? People are going about today in bottled-up anger because of negative governance.

“Though the menace of suicide, crime cut across age, gender, and socioeconomic status, for long, but has grown to disturbing proportion particularly with the nation’s economic situation in recent times, that has taken most basic commodities beyond the reach of many Nigerians.”
