One of the Special Assistants of Cross River State Governor, Freeman Godwin, has threatened to commit suicide over unpaid salaries.
He claimed he has not been paid a dime since his appointment last year.
Godwin alleged he got a loan to process documentation of his appointment but lamented he has been unable to service it because of non-payment of his salaries.
In a video obtained by The Nation, he said: “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.

“Please don’t touch me. I will die for them.….I sold everything to pay that young man.
“I borrowed money, came here and did documentation hoping that when I am paid, I will pay back the loan.
