The Police in Lagos said an unidentified woman has been fished out of the Lagos Lagoon dead after she jumped off the Third Mainland Bridge.
Lagos State police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin said Friday that the woman flung herself into the waters on Thursday at 4pm near the University of Lagos waterfront.
“An unidentified lady, whose name is yet unknown, reportedly jumped from the Third Mainland Bridge into the water at UNILAG waterfront on Thursday at about 4pm,” Hundeyin said in a statement.
“She was recovered at the University of Lagos shore-slip way by a team of marine police attached there, and she was confirmed dead by a team of UNILAG medical doctors in the presence of a police team from Sabo division.”
He added that the woman’s remains have been deposited at the Infectious Disease Hospital Mortuary in the Yaba, while the police continue their investigations to identify the woman and why she took the jump.
