A yet-to-be identified man was prevented from commiting suicide by patrol officers of the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) after he attempted to jump into the Lagos lagoon from the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge, on Wednesday.
In a video posted by the company on its Twitter handle, the man was seen being urged not to jump into the lagoon by some onlookers.
In the video, a female officer was heard saying: “You’re a man, you’re a man. Don’t jump. Your future is bright, don’t jump. Your future is very bright.”
The person behind the camera was heard begging the onlookers in Yoruba language to help in restraining the man from jumping into the lagoon.
According to LCC, the man was handed over to the police.
