A Special Assistant of Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State, Mr Freeman Godwin an Obudu indigene has threatened to kill himself over unpaid salaries since his appointment as an aide.
He claimed he has not been given a dime since his appointment last year.
Godwin alleged he had to get a loan to process documentation of his appointment but lamented he has been unable to repay his loan because of non-payment of his salaries.
In a video which has now gone viral, he lamented his plights, “I am ready to die in this office. I have chosen by myself to take my life.
“I lost everything. I was there living my life and they called me to take appointment. They asked me to borrow money to do clearance.
“At the end of the day they selected some people and pay N100, 000. Telling me Ben Ayade said, Ben Ayade said. So I should go and get a letter from Ben Ayade.
“Please don’t touch me. I will die for them.
…I sold everything to pay that young man.
He continued, “I borrowed money, came here and did documentation hoping that when I am paid, I will pay back the loan.
Freeman added that his wife gave birth to a girl through CS and there has been nothing he could do.
