A video has shown the moment a woman struggled inside the murky lagoon water after she jumped in to end her life.
The video was taken by one of the fellow passengers in the bus she boarded from Osodi to Lagos Island before the incident.
The passenger can be heard saying the woman told the bus driver to stop for her to ease herself.
The male voice said they were even quarrelling with her and wondering why she did not relieve herself in Osodi before they started the journey.
He said they had no idea she wanted to commit suicid3 and realised this fact too late.
“We should have held her legs if we had known”, he said regretfully.
The video shows the woman struggling inside the water while her fellow passengers were shouting on the bridge.
The commotion attracted local fishermen who quickly moved to the spot the woman was and brought her out of the water.
One of the fishermen can be seen frantically performing CPR on the woman, but announced later that she was dead.
Her fellow passengers commented that she was still gasping and might still make it. This prompted the local fishermen to resume efforts to revive her.
They later gave up and left her in the wooden canoe.
Her remains were later handed over to the marine police who took it to the mortuary.
