However, despite their swift response, medical personnel later confirmed that she did not survive.

Lagos State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the unfortunate development on Friday.

According to Hundeyin, the woman was retrieved from the water at the UNILAG shore slipway by marine police officers who were on duty in the vicinity.

However, their efforts to revive her proved unsuccessful. Medical personnel from the University of Lagos examined her and declared her deceased.

Hundeyin noted that investigations are ongoing to determine her identity and the circumstances that led to the incident.

The authorities have also urged anyone with relevant information about the deceased to come forward.

@Albertdrenatty: “Depression is real. Life is tough, but suicide is never the answer. If you’re struggling, please know you’re not alone there’s always someone willing to listen. Let’s check on our loved ones more often. Rest in peace to the departed.”

@realTobiAkinbo: ‘This must be a marriage or relationship matter. The government need to construct net around the 3rd mainland bridge such that, if anybody jump, the net will catch that person. Taking your life is not an option.”

@247Truthteller: “Always reach out to people. Especially now that more than half the country’s population is going through a lot.”

@Sundayjctrucks: “Life can be overwhelming for some, and we may never fully understand their struggles. Let’s be kinder to each other.’

@UtMuktar: “Life can be incredibly challenging, and at times, it may feel overwhelming. But please remember, even in the darkest moments, suicide is not the answer. Life holds so much more than the pain you’re feeling right now. Difficulties are not permanent, and there is always.”

@Midatlblog: ‘Why using a picture of another person?this particular lady died years back in same location after answering a call suspected to be from her boyfriend…pls take her picture down.”

@godwin12753: “So there is nothing the government can do to prevent people from jumping into the bridge, everything about Nigeria is always different.”
