A yet-to-be-identified man has climbed a telecommunications mast in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba state and has threatened to jump off the mast except, the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet TB Joshua, intervenes in his situation.

Channels Television report sighted by YaahooJournalist quoted eyewitnesses to have said that the man was seen approaching the mast with chains around his waist without people knowing that he had the intention of climbing the mast.

The television station quoted Mohammed Aminu and Suleiman Musa who witnessed the scenario, to have said that they suddenly discovered that the man was already at the peak of the mast.

“He was throwing down some papers which were picked by some persons,” the guardsman narrated.

The report says the man, however, made a demand that he would only terminate the suicide mission if Prophet TB Joshua intervened in his case.

“After so many revelations about SCOAN, I am not coming down from this place until prophet T.B. Joshua asks me to come down. This is my last hope even if it is the last thing that I will achieve in life, so be it.

“Please and please prophet of God, help and deliver me for God’s sake.”

Meanwhile, the report added that security stormed the scene in an attempt to bring the man down in the dark without any iota of light.

The security team maintained that the strategy is to avoid suspicion by the victim and prevent him from jumping off the mast.
