Sad moment lady alights from taxi and jumps into lagoon

A Nigerian woman whose identity has not been established reportedly leapt into the lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.

From the report we sighted on TheInfoNG, the woman reportedly got out of a cab, went directly to the bridge’s railing and jumped into the lagoon.

In a status report, Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, the permanent secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, acknowledged this occurrence and stated that a search and rescue team had been organized to look for the woman.

He said:

“Upon arrival of the LRT at the incident scene, investigation revealed that a lady in her late thirties (30s) plunged into the Lagos lagoon.

Further investigation revealed that the lady alighted from a cab on the bridge and plunged into the lagoon.

The LRT men of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, LASWA and officials of the Department of State Service (DSS) are currently on the ground working better together to search for the victim.”

The LASEMA boss said that the cab driver claimed that the lady was in a heated argument with her fiancee which may have been the reason for her action.
