The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service says it has recovered the dead body of the man who jumped in a lagoon in Lagos State.

The victim, who was said to be a dispatch rider, parked his operational motorbike on from the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge and plunged into the lagoon on Tuesday afternoon.

The State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit (SEHMU) bagged the remains and took it to the morgue.

Eyewitnesses said that they thought the victim wanted to fix his bike before the accident.
