Yesterday evening, the operatives of Rapid Response Squad (RRS), prevented a pregnant 27-year-old mother-of-four from committing suicide by jumping into the Lagoon, from the top of the Third Mainland Bridge, with her 1-year-old baby.
She was restrained by two Response riders after a cab driver had drawn the attention of the RRS riders on routine patrol of the area, at about past 5:00 p.m. On interrogation at the RRS Headquarter, the woman noted that she trekked from Medina Estate in Gbagada to the Third Mainland.
She claimed to have heard a voice calling out to her to come to the Third Mainland Bridge. She pointed out that she decided to hearken to the call because it was repeated and constant call out to her.
The UNILAG dropout, told an RRS interrogator that before the incidence, she had issues with her husband before relocating to her parent’s house in Gbagada, Lagos. She and her baby have been released to her relatives this morning.
