Why I tried to kill myself on Third Mainland Bridge – 45-year-old man
Bala Elkana, the Lagos police spokesperson, in a statement on Sunday, said the man was saved by an officer while attempting to jump into the Third Mainland lagoon over the weekend.
According to the police, the 45-year old collected a N390,000 loan from a microfinance bank in March, which has exceeded N500,000 with accrued interests and was unable to pay back. While attempting to jump into the lagoon around 1:35 p.m. on Friday, he was intercepted by operatives deployed to Third Mainland Bridge and taken to Bariga Police Station for questioning and debriefing.
He revealed that the loan was collected with the intent to upgrade his wine retail business, but the business failed and the money not recoverable.
