Afro-pop star, Runtown has reacted to the Federal Government’s ban on the manufacturing of small bottles of ‘Sniper’, an agro-chemical that has increasingly become a choice killer for persons contemplating suicide.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control said the ban became necessary because of the recent wave of suicide cases across the country linked to the consumption of Sniper.
Reacting to the ban, ‘Mad over you’ crooner, Runtown said banning sniper only tackles how people commit suicide, not why people commit suicide.
He wrote on Twitter:”Banning Sniper only tackles HOW people commit suicide not WHY people commit suicide. It’s like going to dry up the Lagos Lagoon because people use it as a tool for committing suicide. To truly curb this epidemic, we must focus on the reason WHY people do it”.
