The FCT Police Command has released Alhaji Yushau Shuaibu on bail to his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
Our correspondent recalls that Alhaji 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.
The FCT Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Andeh, said in a statement that the assessment report indicated that he is mentally stable.
“However, symptoms of anxiety, persistent worry, and fears were observed in the course of profiling him.
“The FCTA Social Development Secretariat 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,”she said.
Following his release on bail, his lawyer, Adeyanju, is required to present him whenever his presence is needed at the command.
