On Thursday, November 10, a beautiful Nigerian lady named Adetutu Adedokun jumped off the Third Mainland Bridge into the Lagos lagoon.
Adetutu, a Department of State Services (DSS) operative in her thirties, was said to have alighted from a cab, walked to the bridge’s railing, and jumped into the water.
According to the cab driver, the lady had a heated argument with her fiancée before exiting his vehicle and jumping into the lagoon.
Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, confirmed the incident and said a search and rescue team had been mobilized to look for the woman.

“Upon arrival of the LRT at the incident scene, investigation revealed that a lady in her late thirties (30s) plunged into the Lagos lagoon,” he said.
“Further investigation revealed that the lady alighted from a cab on the bridge and plunged into the lagoon,”
“The LRT men of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, LASWA and officials of the Department of State Service (DSS) are currently on the ground working better together to search for the victim,” he added.
The rescue team, however, did not find her body on Thursday and will resume the search today, November 11.
Gbenga Omotosho, the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, stated:
“The rescue teams called off their search by 7pm because it was already dark. They will continue the search tomorrow (Friday); you know it is water, the wave would have taken the body somewhere else. But we will search everywhere.”
The lady has reportedly engaged to her fiancé a few weeks ago, and a video of the proposal was shared online.
