Police rescues woman who tried taking her life by jumping into the Third Mainland Bridge.
The news of the death of Dr Orji rocked every nook and cranny of the society as people kept wondering what could have made the doctor do it and the things that could have been done to avert it.
While people are yet to come to terms with the incident, another woman purportedly tried taking her own life on the Third Mainland Bridge this afternoon, March 24.
According to PM news, the Lagos state police command rescued one woman identified as Taiwo Titilayo Momoh who tried jumping into the lagoon from the popular bridge.
Fatai Owoseni, the Lagos state commissioner of police, stated that Momoh was going towards Oworonshoki when she asked the driver of the taxi to stop on the bridge. The woman was about to jump into the lagoon when a police patrol team saw her and rushed to stop her from taking her life.
“She attempted suicide by attempting to jump into the Lagoon around Oworonshoki inward Mainland on Third Mainland Bridge. Unfortunately for her, she was rescued. The woman was in a taxi and alighted on the bridge and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the Lagoon.
“The police patrol team sighted her and rushed to rescue her before she jumped into the Lagoon,” he said. The commissioner revealed that she was depressed as a result of the debt she has incurred from unpaid loans.
From his interaction with her, he said she insisted on taking her life again. Owoseni stated that it was wrong for her to try to take her own life. It is also an offence under the law according to him. He said the police would try to talk the woman out of it.
The commissioner of police also said the subject would be made to go through post-trauma programme in order to drive the thought of committing suicide far from her mind. He also revealed that the police would do a medical evaluation on her in order to know the real state of her mind.
