Naija News understands that the man had climbed a 33KV high-tension electricity pole to demand the resignation of Tinubu.
The incident occurred in Mayo-Belwa Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The man had remained up the pole, insisting Tinubu must resign before he would come down.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguruje, said the man, whose name was not revealed, was rescued on Saturday night and taken into Police custody in the state capital, Yola.
“The Command is going to parade the man today (Monday) for attempting suicide,” Nguroje said, adding that attempting suicide is a criminal offence under Nigeria’s constitution.
“We are going to charge him to court,” Nguroje asserted.
He added that the Police has a duty to protect lives and property and that when any individual attempts to take his life, the individual has to be made to face the law.
