Singer Runtown reveals that banning sniper does not tackle why people commit suicide

The federal government announced on Thursday that it had banned the sale of a bottle sniper.

According to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, banning became necessary because the shooter was recently used times throughout the country to commit suicide.

However, Nigerian musician Runtown claims that prohibition is not the solution to end suicide as it addresses just how people end their lives.

The musician said that the government should, first and foremost, address the reasons why people take their own lives before anything else.

He wrote:

“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.”
