An unidentified woman has committed suicide by jumping into the Lagos Lagoon from Third Mainland Bridge.
PM News gathered that the incident took place late on Sunday, as the woman was said to have parked her Ford jeep with the registration number APP 190 CE on the bridge and jumped into the river.
A top police source told our correspondent that the Marine Police were currently searching for the body of the deceased inside the water.
The source disputed the ownership of the vehicle, saying it did not belonged to the woman, as the vehicle was registered in another name that claimed he did not know the victim.
Between last year and now, about five people have jumped into the Lagoon or attempted to jump into the river from the Third Mainland Bridge.
Despite police’s patrol of the 11km bridge, people still make use of the bridge to commit suicide.
