Another unidentified man has jumped into the Lagos lagoon, from Third Mainland Bridge, in a suicide attempt, barely two weeks after a 22-year-old man identified as Daibo Davies, plunged into the lagoon.
According to Lagos Police Command, the man was lucky enough to have landed on the log of wood in the lagoon before being rescued to Lagos State Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), where he’s receiving treatment.
Recall that on Saturday, February 15, 2020, a 21-year-old jumped into the lagoon after alighting from the Uber car he boarded, on the pretext of having a stomach upset.
After begging the Uber driver to stop so he could relieve himself, Davies reportedly climbed the pavement of the bridge and jumped into the water.
Similar to Davies’ suicide move, the man whose identity is yet-to-be-identified, alighted from an Uber and jumped into the lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge, around midnight on Wednesday, February 26, 2020.
