LEAVE ME LET ME JUST DIE, WHAT IS IN THIS LIFE? LASU student jumps into Lagos lagoon [Video]
Kingsley Gabriel, an undergraduate student of the Lagos State University on Monday jumped into Lagos lagoon in a bid to commit suicide but was rescued by officials of the Lagos State Waterways Authority, LASWA.
In a video recording that has gone viral online, the young man was heard saying they should just let him die, as he repeatedly asked what was in this life?
It was gathered that the student who jumped from Falomo Bridge into the lagoon at about 11:00 am did not give any reason for his action.
Confirming the incident to journalists, the General Manager, LASWA, Mr Damilola Emmanuel, lamented that the act was becoming rampant and worrisome on Lagos waterways.
He said,
“The student was quickly rescued from drowning in the water by LASWA rescue officials who responded swiftly by jumping into the lagoon to prevent him from drowning.”
Mr Emmanuel further revealed that the student was taken to the Falomo Police Station for onward interrogation.
It was not clear why Gabriel decided to end his life as efforts to interview him proved abortive.
