We are still in search of suicide victim- LASEMA

Lagos State Emergency Management Agency has said they are still in search of the Uber Passenger who jumped into the Lagoon around Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.

MyNigeria.com learnt that the man boarded a car-hailing service, Uber, from Gbagada to a destination in the state.

While the driver was commuting him to his destination, mynigeria.com gathered that the passenger told the driver to park on the Third Mainland Bridge because he had a stomach ache.

After parking, the yet-to-be-identified passenger plunged into the lagoon at around 11am.

Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Emergency Management Authority, Nosa Okunbor, confirmed the incident, saying rescue operation was ongoing.

He said, “The guy boarded Uber from Gbagada and when they got to the Third Mainland Bridge, he told the driver that he had stomach upset and that he needed to relieve himself. So when the driver parked, he got down from the vehicle, abandoned his belongings and jumped into the water.

“The incident happened around 11 am and our team has responded but I can’t confirm if he would be rescued alive or dead."
