Another man has alighted from an UBER car and jumped into the Lagos Lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge.
The incident comes less than two weeks after a man alighted from an UBER vehicle and jumped into the Lagos Lagoon.
The man whose name could not be immediately ascertained was said to have jumped into the Lagoon around midnight on Wednesday.
The cab driver told officials of the RRS that he picked the passenger from Igando.
He said, “I carried him (the passenger) from Igando and he insisted I pass through the Third Mainland Bridge.
“On getting to the bridge, he asked me whether this was Third Mainland Bridge and I answered yes.
“He told me that he was pressed and that I should wait for him to ease himself. I was curious. At this time, he was forcing me to wait. I stylishly drove him to the point where the RRS men were standing inward Lagos.
“I told him I was no longer interested in the trip before I approached the police officers leaving him inside the car.”
A source, who is also an eyewitness, said, “As soon as the cab driver approached the police informing them of what his passenger was telling him, he (the victim) got down from the Volkswagen Jetta car and jumped into the Lagoon but he landed on floating logs of wood.
“Before he jumped, one of the police officers who saw him approached the railings of the bridge and persuaded him not to jump.”
