The video of a yet-to-be-identified man, jumping into the lagoon on Saturday has made it to the internet and gained several views.
The incident occurred at Idumota Bridge, on Lagos Island, according to Facebook user Ngozi Blessing, who shared the footage that has gone viral on her page.
Her post alleged that the man took to suicide because he was framed for stealing a huge amount of money, an allegation he strongly denied.
In the video, attempts made by some spirited citizens around the scene of the incident to stop the suicide failed, as the man rebuffed all pleas and dived into the river.
It is not certain at the time of this report if any rescue efforts were made after the victim took the plunge.
