My goodness! This is a sad one for me.......
What would cause a man returning from Church, to commit suicide by jumping into the Lagos lagoon? OMG, help us Lord.....
A man simply identified as Orji Sunday, who is believed to be a medical doctor has allegedly killed himself by jumping from the third mainland bridge into the lagoon.
The incident which occurred at the Adekunle and Adeniji end of the bridge on Sunday afternoon has everyone in shock. According to reports. the medical practitioner while being driven by his personal driver, was receiving a call when he instructed his driver to pull over his SUV, to allow him check something on the body of the truck. The unsuspecting driver reportedly stopped the vehicle only for the Mr. Orji to jump into the lagoon.
See more after the jump!!!
Below is an eye witness account of the incident.....
"I witnessed the worst thing ever today!! The owner of this particular car jumped into the lagoon right in front of me!!! I saw him get out of his car, then jumped, I was directly behind him, I parked and ran as fast as my legs could carry me but it was too late..... I wish he had waited a little longer, I wish I was able to stop him, I wish I was about to hold his hands, I wish he could tell me what the problem was!!!!! Depression is real...... I couldn't believe my eyes, I'm still in shock, I couldn't control my tears. I ran after him I tried to save him I called for help. Suicide is not the answer!!!!! It's a pity a problem shared isn't a problem solved anymore it's a problem gossiped about...... we now live in a world where negativity is like 90%. I really wish I was able to save him. Loads of people stopped because they saw me acting like a crazy woman, the ambulance was present, the fishermen were trying to help but it was too late!!!!! He left a note on his personalized Dr's notepad with his house address. May God help his family though this difficult time. Please, let's be our brothers keeps. Let's genuinely love and help one another. Life is short. We are here for just a little time. Let's spend that time spreading love and being kind to one another!"
The vehicle, with licence plate number, LND 476 EE and the driver has since been taken to Adeniji Adele Police Station for further investigations while officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and officers of the Nigerian Police attached to the Adeniji Police Station in Yaba are carrying out efforts to recover Mr. Orji's remains from the Lagoon.
