How medical doctor, Allwell Orji took his life after previous suicide attempts
Dr. Allwell Orji, the medical doctor who took his life last Sunday by jumping off Third Mainland Bridge, had attempted suicide a number of times.
According to The Sun, who visited his family home on Odunukan Street, close to the University of Lagos, it was found out that Orji jumped down from the two-storey house four years ago. He was saved by agile neighbours.
“Four years ago he attempted to kill himself and, thereafter, had tried doing so on a number of times,” a man who pleaded anonymity said, adding, “since then, his family had been monitoring him.
“We don’t know the kind of sickness he was suffering from, but we knew he was being monitored. That was why he was assigned a driver to take him around.
“He was such a gentle boy, who never made any trouble. His family has lived on this street for long; his father died four years ago.
“Perhaps the driver who drove him didn’t know about his condition because he was engaged about three months ago.”
Another neighbour said some concerned people had gone to the police station to beg for the driver’s release, as he is innocent.
Orji had on Sunday committed suicide on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.
Report had it earlier today that the body of the medical doctor has been found.
However, the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Dolapo Badmos, has quoted the mother of the medical doctor as saying that the body earlier recovered was not her son’s.

How body of doctor Orji who jumped into Lagoon was recovered
The body of the medical doctor, Allwell Orji, who jumped off the 3rd mainland bridge on Sunday evening, has been recovered. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni, confirmed the recovery of the body on Tuesday.
He said the body was recovered by the Marine Police at the Onikan end of the lagoon. The body was found three days after the incident occurred. Until his death, Dr. Orji worked at the Mount Sinai Hospital in Surulere area of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.
He was said to be on his way to Victoria Island for a meeting with the Medical and Dental Association of Nigeria when the incident happened. Temporary reports from Police authorities revealed that the deceased had asked his driver to stop the vehicle before jumping across the bridge and into the water. LASEMA said there was a distress call of a man who parked his grey coloured Nissan SUV at about 4:50 pm around Adekunle and jumped into the Lagos lagoon. The agency said the vehicle and the driver had been taken to Adeniji Adele Police Station for further investigation.
Spokesman of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Mr. Kehinde Adebayo, had said the agency was alerted by concerned Nigerians. Just three days after Dr. Orji case, a similar incident has been recorded as a middle-aged woman reportedly jumped into the lagoon in the Maza-Maza area of the state. The woman was, however, rescued following the timely intervention of local fishermen and divers in the area. According to witnesses, the woman had walked casually to the Maza-Maza bridge in the Mile Two area and to the shock of people around, she took a dive into the lagoon but the fishermen dived in after her and rescued her. The woman, dressed in a blouse and trousers was earlier seen walking aimlessly and when she got to the middle of the bridge, she climbed the rail and jumped.
