Some neighbors of the young man who dived into Lagos lagoon at the weekend have spoken up about the personality of the deceased before his unfortunate demise.

This is coming a few days after the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) identified him as Daibo Davies of 17 Sosanya street in Soluyi area of Gbagada.

Recall that Davies requested for a Uber last Saturday from Mercy Hospital, in Gbagada, few minutes into his trip as the Uber driver ascended the third mainland bridge, he asked the driver to stop as he was having stomach upset.

He opened the car, came down, held on to the railings of the third mainland bridge and jumped into the Lagoon.

TheCable visited his neighbourhood in Gbagada where his neighbors described him as a quiet person who rarely interacted with anyone and was mostly about church functions.

Mr David, one of the neighbors of the deceased, said Toju, as he is fondly called, was a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

“I saw Davies last week Sunday. You know this is a like a ‘mind-your-business’ kind of area. I know that he stayed with his aunt. We don’t really interact except for church things. He attended the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

I do see him because my own balcony faces theirs, so anytime I am standing there, I do see him with his aunt. He was very quiet. I will say that he didn’t come out like that other boys in the area,” he said.

Another neighbor, Mustapha said he met with the deceased on a few occasions. He said the deceased was an ally of his co-worker who was transferred months ago.

“He used to come out once in a while maybe when he wanted to get things. When I first learnt of his death, I didn’t know he was the one people were talking about. But when I saw his picture, I recognised him immediately,” he told TheCable.

“He didn’t really relate with people around here, except one of our workers whom he got along with very well. However, that friend of his has been transferred out of here. While he was here, Davies visited frequently and they discussed about church programmes. They also go hang out very well unlike with rest of us.

“I knew him basically on the street. He was such a quiet fellow. I never saw him discussing or arguing with anyone. He went about gently not like some who did as if they owned the street.” Mustapha said

The search for Toju’s body which was suspended over the weekend continues today (Tuesday).
