Police foil American’s suicide bid on Third Mainland Bridge
Lagos state police officers have rescued an American citizen from attempting suicide on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos today.
This was made known in a statement by the police command shared on X.com on Monday.
According to the statement the American, whose name has not been disclosed, was driven to the bridge by his baby mama at approximately 1:23 p.m.
The statement revealed that the American, who is in his early 30s, had directed his baby mama to park her vehicle while he walked to a spot on the bridge, intending to jump into the Lagoon.
A passerby spotted his odd conduct and immediately informed patrolling Rapid Response Squad officers, who convinced him not to jump. The officers then reconnected him with his wife and daughter before transporting them to the RRS headquarters in Alausa. According to the statement, "An American citizen, whose name is withheld, was restrained from committing suicide on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos at 1:23 p.m. today."
The American, who is in his early thirties, was transported to the Third Mainland Bridge by his Baby Mama with his daughter. He led the lady, who was ignorant of his intentions, to park somewhere while he walked to a location for a jump into the Lagoon. "A passerby who noticed his movement swiftly alerted patrolling RRS officers, who persuaded him to stop jumping and reunited him with his wife before transporting them to RRS headquarters in Alausa. "The Commander, Rapid Response Squad (RRS), after advising the man and his family, directed that the case be transferred to Gender Department, Lagos Police Command for further counselling and necessary actions."
