An unnamed man has been rescued after jumping off Third Mainland Bridge into the Lagos Lagoon.
The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) said in a tweet on Thursday that the man alighted from a cab on Wednesday night claiming he wanted to urinate.
He jumped into the lagoon but landed on a log of wood before being taken to the Lagos State Teaching Hospital, where he was later referred to Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
The cab driver told RRS officials that the passenger whom he picked from Igando, a suburb of Lagos, insisted he pass through the popular bridge.
The incident comes 11 days after a 22-year-old man, Daibo Davies, abandoned a cab as well and plunged into the lagoon.
