An unnamed elderly woman has been rescued by security operatives from jumping into the lagoon from Carter Bridge in Lagos State.
The incident occurred at about 12:20pm on Friday when operatives of the Police Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on patrol spotted the woman attempting to take her own life.
She was quickly taken to the RRS Headquarters, where the Commander, CSP Shola Jejeloye, listened to her story and gave her the opportunity to open up about her challenges.
He later allowed the woman, her husband, and their 30-year-old son to hold a private family meeting to resolve their differences.
After the meeting, “he allowed her, along with her husband and their 30-year-old son, to hold a private family meeting to address and resolve their differences.”
Following the discussion, “CSP Jejeloye counselled the woman extensively and offered her a cash gift.”
The family said, “The family expressed deep gratitude to the Commander for the squad’s timely intervention, his heartfelt advice, and the financial support.”
The woman has since been released into the care of her husband and son.
