The Federal Capital Territory Police Command on Friday said Yushau Shuaibu, who was arrested over attempted suicide on July 8 has been released on bail to Deji Adeyanju, his Lawyer.

Josephine Adeh, the FCT Police Command’s spokesperson, in a statement on X.com on Friday, said Yushau’s release follows a mental assessment conducted by the FCTA SDS.

Yushau had explained that his action was to draw the attention of the federal government to the prevailing hardship in the country.

She said although the assessment report indicated that he is mentally stable, symptoms of anxiety, persistent worry, and fears were observed in the course of profiling him.
