While the dust raised by the action of Allwell Orji, a medical doctor, is yet to settle down, another suicide attempt has been recorded in Lagos state.
According to NAN, a middle-aged woman jumped into the lagoon in Maza-Maza around the Mile Two area of the state after the incident of Orji.
She was said to have been immediately rescued by fishermen and divers in the area.
NAN quoted witnesses as saying the woman, who wore a blouse and trousers, had been walking aimlessly, until she got to the middle of the bridge, where she climbed the rail and jumped.
