Operatives
of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos State Police Command, have rescued an
accountant, Daniel Okereke (29) , just as he was about to jump off the Third
Mainland Bridge, into the lagoon .
The
victim was rescued by policemen stationed on the bridge around 7a.m. The
policemen were said to have spent time speaking with him and encouraging him
before taking him to Adekunle Police Station, Yaba, where he was detained.
The
reason the accountant tried to end his life is still unclear as the time of
filing this report, but it is gathered that police had already launched an
investigation.
The
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana, confirming
the incident, said: “At about 6:30a.m. Daniel Okereke, 29 year-old was rescued
by RSS operatives by Adekunle Intersection. His action may not be
connected with depression. But he has been taken to the hospital for medical
attention and investigation is ongoing.”
