REPORTS have emerged on why a beautiful Department of State Services (DSS) female operative, Adetutu Adedokun, plunged into the Lagos Lagoon.
The lady had, on Thursday, jumped into the Lagos Lagoon from Third Mainland Bridge in a suicide attempt after alighting from an Uba taxi.
She was said to have alighted from the taxi after a heated argument with her fiancé on phone, headed for the railing of the bridge and plunged into the lagoon.
The Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Dr Olufemi Osanyintolu, confirmed the incident in a statement on Thursday.
He had said, “Upon the arrival of the Lagos Response Team at the incident scene, investigation revealed that a lady in her late 30s plunged into the Lagos lagoon.
“Further investigation revealed that the lady alighted from an Uber taxi car on the bridge and plunged into the lagoon.
”The driver of the taxi claimed she was having a heated conversation with her fiancé before alighting from the car.
“The LRT, men of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services, LASWA and officials of the Department of State Services are currently on ground working together to search for the victim.”
The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, said rescue teams, after intense search and rescue efforts, were unable to find the victim.
He had said, “The rescue teams called off their search by 7:00p.m because it was already dark. They will continue the search tomorrow (Friday); you know it is water, the wave would have taken the body somewhere else. But we will search everywhere.”
Meanwhile, feelers from WazobiaReporters had revealed that Adetutu, four months ago, got a commendation from the Director General of the DSS, as the best unarmed combat operative in her set.
The lady in her mid 30s was reportedly proposed to by her fiance in Akure, Ondo State on August 27, 2022.
One of those who attended the marriage proposal party told WazobiaReporters that it was a blissful night at Heritage Intercontinental Hotel, Akure, where the party took place.
“I don’t know what could have led to her committing suicide because the fiance appeared to love her so much.
“He even sang for her at a Karaoke Night two days before he proposed to her,” he told our reporter.
