The Kogi Police Command has confirmed the case of suicide by a yet-to-be-identified man, who allegedly jumped into a river in Lokoja.
The Command’s Public relations officer, SP Williams Ovye-Aya, who confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria, said it happened between 12.30 p.m. and 1p.m.
Ovye-Aya said that a Divisional Police Officer led a search team to the Meme Bridge on Ganaka-Ajaokuta Road, where the victim was said to have jumped into the river.
“Our men found the man’s slippers but his corpse is not yet visible, which calls for thorough search for the recovery of his remain.
“As it stands, the man’s identity is not yet known since none of his family members has shown up to lay a complaint.
“We are only working on a report about the incident by some good Samaritans,” the PPRO said.
