Family of man who jumped into Lagos Lagoon speaks

A family member of the man that jumped into a lagoon in Lekki Lagos has reacted to the incident.

The source told The Nation that the man left his Ondo State residence three days ago to attend a church programme at the Redemption Camp.



He said the family was yet to establish the reason behind the act and declined further comments.

The man, Adekunle Oluseyi, reportedly took off his clothes, phone, wristwatch, wallet, band and shoes before jumping into the water at about 10am.

LCCI officials, on getting the information, checked their Close Circuit Television (CCTV) footage and realised it was true, before alerting emergency workers.

Oluseyi’s wallet contained two Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards and there was no cash inside.
