How Police Foiled Two Suicide Attempts on Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos

Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have foiled two suicide attempts along the Third Mainland Bridge.

It was gathered that a 65-year-old visually impaired man, Ewenla Adetomiwa, was rescued after attempting to commit suicide by jumping into the lagoon around 2:30 p.m. on September 4, 2024.

The spokesperson for the state Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incidents to Punch on Sunday, September 9.

According to reports, the victim had brought his two children to the Third Mainland Bridge, planning to end his life, believing that the government would care for them after his death

However, passersby, realising the man’s intentions, intervened and stopped him before he could jump into the lagoon.


“There was a distress call that a man with his two children attempted to commit suicide by trying to jump into the lagoon on the third mainland bridge in the state,” the PPRO said.

"He was prevented by a good Samaritan who alerted the police through the control room. Upon the receipt of the information, a team of policemen was sent to the scene where the victim, who lived in Ikorodu, and his two children were seen on the bridge
