After over six hours unproductive search for the body of the 22-year old man who jumped into the Lagos lagoon, rescuers from the state Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and local divers have suspended the search.
The search would now continue tomorrow with the hope of recovering the body of the young adult male who nose-dived inside lagoon around Adekunle Adeniji end of the Third Mainland bridge.
The man identified as Daibo Toju Davies, residing at 17 Sosanya Street Gbagada Soluyi, Lagos, was in an Uber cab when he told the driver he was experiencing stomach upset and needed to vomit only to jump inside the lagoon after alighting from the car.
Rescue officers comprising LASEMA marine personnel, Marine Police Unit and local divers continued search for the jumper up till late Saturday evening.
InsightMedia reported that a 22-year-old man who took Uber from a hospital in Lagos stopped the Uber driver and jumped into lagoon in a suicide mission.
