By Our Correspondent




The  dead body of the National Diploma certificate holder, Lekan Odunare, who jumped into a lagoon in the Epe area of Lagos State on Tuesday morning, has been found.


The body of the deceased was found on Thursday, December 16.


A video of Lekan sitting on the rails of a bridge before plunging into the waters has been making the rounds. Before he dived in, a man filming the scene was heard querying his intention.

A voice in the 30-second video who was filming him, is heard asking Olalekan what was wrong with him, but he did not respond.

Salient Times learnt Olalekan is said to be a holder of an Ordinary National Diploma (OND) certificate and a worker at Alaro City, a mega estate along the Lekki-Epe Expressway.


Many social media users wondered why the person filming did not make an attempt to rescue rather make a video of him.


Relevant agencies including the Lagos State Police Command, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Lagos State Waterways Authority are yet to comment on the issue.
