Rescuers
relaxed their search operations on Monday afternoon following unsuccessful
efforts to locate and recover the body of the medical doctor who reportedly
plunged into the Lagos Lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge on Sunday evening.
The
medical doctor, identified as all well Orji, had ordered his driver to pull
over in what was a mysterious incident, while he stepped out and dove into the
lagoon. He immediately drowned, as the incidence truncated his journey to a
conference of dentists and medical practitioners on Lagos Island.
Officers
of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and marine operators
said they had no trace of the body in the waters since the commencement of
their emergency operation.
Our
reporter who visited the home of the victim today said that mother of the
victim was flanked by sympathizers, who constantly consoled her. The elderly
woman tried, momentarily, to force some smiles but they were short lived.
Eventually,
she pleaded with the sympathizers to let her have some time alone, asking to be
allowed to sleep. She explained that she had not slept since the incident.
