The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni confirmed the news to Channels Television.

He said the body was recovered by the Marine Police at the Onikan end of the lagoon.

Dr. Orji’s 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.

The Lagos State Emergency Agency (LASEMA) in a statement said there was a distress call of a man who parked his grey coloured Nissan SUV 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.

why commit suicide knowing fully well you'd die someday....why bother going to school, getting a career just to take your life...so many question i wish the doctor could answer

Finally , emergency services can now rediect their resources to other areas instead of concerntrating it on one person/corpse.

Not that it is not sad that he died but too much resources would have been lost to this search

I smell spiritual Science on this man's issue

I hope he was rescued alive according the mum?

Suicide is never an option.

Though he made his choice.

RIP

Oma se o

Port Harcourt Doctor pics still attached again?

You should not have done that.

Stop displaying the pic of someone who isn't even related to Orji.

Something is wrong somewhere. Just hope it's nothing spiritual. Village people fit get hand for this matter.
