Rescuers yet to find lagoon suicide woman
Emergency workers yesterday expressed skepticism over reports that a woman jumped into the Lagos lagoon on Sunday evening.
Their doubts, it was learnt, stemmed from the fact that no one, including eyewitnesses who raised the alarm on social media, has put forward a detail account of how the incident occurred.
Though officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) continued search and rescue, it was gathered that the woman’s body was yet to be found.
According to a source, the agency had hoped that relatives of the woman would have come forward or called the emergency toll free lines after the news broke.
