A 57-year old man in Benin City, Denis Amayo this
morning has told journalists he will commit suicide on the 14th of
February, 2014 if the State Governor refuse to pay his pension arrears
before then. Denis said he served the state for 35 years in the Ministry
of Agriculture and retired in August last year.Denis who just lost his
father needs the money to bury him, as his corpse is still lying in the
mortuary.
“I
am my father’s first born. It will be immoral of me to task my younger
ones to bring money for his burial while I cannot bring anything for the
burial,” he said. I need my eight months pension arrears to bury my
father he concluded.
He
said, if the governor refuse to pay, he will sacrifice his life to
raise awareness for other pensioners owed several months of unpaid
pensions.
