An employee of the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation, Akinlolu Ajayi, has been stopped from committing suicide.
The 54-year-old man was seen on September 15 on the Third Mainland Bridge trying to jump into the lagoon at the University of Lagos waterfront.
Ajayi was, however, stopped when the men of the Bariga Police Division on a routine patrol of the area stumbled on him, the spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said in a statement today.
He also said that the police would prosecute Ajayi for the action.
