HAPPENING NOW.....Photos: Man jumps into a canal in Lagos

Hmmm.........A man jumped into the canal under the Festac link bridge in Lagos this morning. Efforts are being made to rescue him from the canal by local divers. More details later on Fidelis Chidi blog

In what is considered to be a suicide attempt, another man in Festac area of Lagos took the plunge, jumping into a river and causing traffic in the area, as people stopped by to watch as two men searched for the yet to be identified man in the river with a canoe.

Here's what a Facebook user, Michael O. Dedon who shared the story wrote;

"Another suicide at Festac Link Bridge? The search for the fellow who took the plunge is still ongoing. But what can the two men in the canoe searching with a long stick really achieve?"
