A woman whose identity is yet to be known has died after jumping off the Third Mainland Bridge into the Lagos Lagoon.
The state police spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating that it happened on Thursday afternoon. He explained that her body was recovered near the University of Lagos waterfront.
“On 13/3/2025 at about 1600hrs, at about 1500hrs of the same date, an unidentified lady, whose name is yet unknown, reportedly jumped from Third Mainland Bridge into the water at UNILAG waterfront,” he said.
Marine police officers stationed in the area retrieved her body. Medical experts later examined her and confirmed she had passed away.
“She was recovered at the University of Lagos shore-slip-way by a team of marine police attached there. She was confirmed dead by a team of UNILAG medical doctors in the presence of a police team from Sabo division,” the police spokesperson added.
