The young man (in black) who tried to commit suicide

A student of the Lagos State University (LASU) identified as Kingsley Gabriel, on Monday jumped into the Lagos lagoon from the popular Falomo Bridge in Lagos Island at about 11:00a.m. leaving no reason for his action.

While confirming the incident, the General Manager, Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA), Damilola Emmanuel, lamented that the act was becoming rampant and worrisome on Lagos waterways.

He said that the student was quickly rescued from drowning by LASWA rescue officials who responded swiftly to the incident, jumping into the lagoon to prevent him from drowning.

It was gathered from online sources that when he was being rescued and arrested, the young man was shouting, 'let me just die, you people should leave me alone, what is in this life'.

An official of LASWA hinted that after his rescue, Gabriel was taken to the Falomo Police Station, for onward interrogation.

It was not clear why Gabriel decided to end his life by jumping from the Falomo Bridge into the water, even as efforts to interview the student proved abortive. Broniupdate.com
