The man who jumped off the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge into the Lagos lagoon
on Friday morning has been identified as Oluseyi Adekunle, a report by
Channels has revealed.
It was gathered that Adekunle was on his way to work before he
dropped his bag at the rails and plunged into the Lagoon in an apparent
suicide bid. His ATM card and other items were recovered from the scene
of the sad incident, thereby revealing his identity.
Officials of the Lagos Waterways Authority, the state emergency
management agency and the marine police rushed to the scene in an
attempt to rescue the victim.
After a four-hour search without recovery of the body, the
officials had to call off the joint operation. The authorities are still
investigating the cause of Adekunle’s action as he is believed to have
committed suicide.
This incident comes barely six months after a medical doctor
identified as Allwell Orji jumped to his death from the third mainland
bridge into the lagoon.
