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.
