Why I Attempted to Jump Into Lagos Lagoon - Woman Rescued Today for Attempted Suicide on 3rd Mainland Bridge

The 58-years-old textile dealer who was rescued by the Nigerian Police on Friday from jumping into the Lagoon at the popular Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, has spoken out. 

It was gathered that she was in a taxi heading towards Oworonshoki on Third Mainland Bridge when she told the taxi driver to stop on the bridge. She was about to jump into the lagoon when a police patrol team on a routine patrol sighted her and rushed to save her before she jumped into the Lagoon.

 

While explaining her reason on why she decided to end her life by herself, PM News reported thus;

"Mrs Taiwo Momoh, the 58-years-old woman who was rescued by the police on Friday from jumping into the Lagoon from Third Mainland Bridge to commit suicide said her indebtedness to the tune of N18.7 million to her Swiss partner forced her to want to end her life."
