A suicide mission was accomplished in Lagos when a woman took a plunge into the Lagos Lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge.

The tragic incident occurred at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday near the University of Lagos (UNILAG) waterfront.

It was gathered that the woman jumped into the water, prompting a swift response from Marine Police stationed in the area.

Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Command’s spokesman, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the woman’s body was recovered at the UNILAG shore slipway by the Marine Police.
