Woman jumps off Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, dies

 

A yet-to-be-identified lady died after jumping off the Third Mainland Bridge into the Lagos lagoon.

Benjamin Hundeyin, the police spokesperson in the state, confirmed the incident to TheCable on Friday.

Hundeyin said the incident occurred on Thursday, adding that she was confirmed dead by a team of doctors.

“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,” Hundeyin told TheCable.

 

“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 body has been evacuated to I.D.H INFECTIOUS Disease Hospital Mortuary, Yaba, Lagos, for preservation.”

In 2024, the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the police command foiled a suicide attempt by a US citizen on the Third Mainland Bridge.
