A yet-to-be-identified middle-aged lady, on Thursday, attempted suicide by jumping into Lagos lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos State.
Confirming the incident, the Permanent Secretary of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, disclosed that the lady alighted from a car on the bridge and jumped into the lagoon.
The LASEMA boss said the cab driver claimed the lady was having a heated conversation with her fiance before alighting from the vehicle.
