Adetutu Adedokun, the DSS employee who plunged into the Lagos Lagoon, has received an update from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA).
After a furious argument with her fiancé on Thursday, Adedokun leaped into the Lagos Lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge.
In a statement, LASEMA’s permanent secretary, Dr Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, denied reports that the woman had been saved from the Lagoon.
He said that rescue efforts had been abandoned and that an effort was currently being made to pull her remains from the lagoon.
Oke-Osanyintolu stated that after extensive searches, no one had been able to identify the driver of the automobile she was riding in at the time of the tragedy.
Update on the suspected suicide attempt on Third Mainland Bridge, in his own words.
Eyewitnesses said that Adetutu Adedokun, an adult female, leapt into the lagoon, but her corpse has not yet been found.
The woman is allegedly a member of the Department of State Services employees. She was in a car when the sad tragedy occurred, but investigations have not been able to identify the driver.
The rescue mission has been switched to recovery, and the reaction team is currently watching the tide and asking the villagers if they have any valuable information. More updates will come.
