A Man simply identified as Azeez has allegedly jumped into the lagoon in Lagos and drowned while trying to avoid arrest after being accused of stealing some bags of cement.

The spokesperson of the Police Command in Lagos, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to NAN on Sunday.

Hundeyin said the director in charge of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, in Lagos Central reported the case at Ikoyi Police Division on Friday at about 12.20 pm.

According to him, the director reported that at about 10.45 am on Friday, he received a call that there was an incident at Lekki/Ikoyi Link Bridge.

He added that on getting to the scene, he met a large crowd by the waterside, watching the lifeless body of a man who had drowned.

“The deceased was later identified as Azeez. He was later confirmed dead by paramedics of Pre Hospital Care, Lagos.

“It was discovered that one Elijah Amos, a seller of the cement, was pursuing the deceased before he jumped into the lagoon, because he was alleged to have stolen some bags of cement,” Hundeyin said.

He disclosed that the scene was visited by the police, while the corpse had been evacuated to Mainland General Hospital Mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy and preservation.

Stupid things a man can do for a woman

What a very foolish way to go.

I can run from kidnappers or bandits but Nigerian police or EFCC? Never!

Na money go settle the matter last last

I'm interested in knowing the legal implications of this for the man who pursued him with accusations.

Any legal professional?

What if he dies

Na wa oo

Even as a good swimmer the current in those water are very dangerous.... If you don't have good breathing technique it's good night

What a foolish way to die...
What was he thinking?
I'm sure he couldn't swim.
What was his motivation, jumping into the Lagoon? Sad, so sad..

Some people worse pass devil

More hunger, more crimes more deaths.

azeez why

He doesn't want to to be roasted alive . Say no to jungle justice

Jumps into Lagos Lagoon...

Or he was pushed into the Lagoon by the accuser...

The police should dig deep into this cement theft story...

because there are some accusations that can even make a man commit suicide or killed by the accuser
