A man identified as Oluseyi Adekunle, has committed suicide by jumping into the Lagos lagoon from the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.
Rescue officials who disclosed the identity of the man said he jumped off the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge into the Lagos lagoon on Friday, October 20.
His identity was uncovered after his ATM card and other items were recovered from the scene of the incident by rescue officials comprising the Lagos Waterways Authority, the state emergency management agency and the marine police who rushed to the scene in an attempt to rescue the victim.
It was gathered that Adekunle who appeared to be on his way to work, dropped his bag before taking the plunge into the Lagoon.
