A teenage girl jumped into a river and committed suicide in Osun.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that commuters and government officials were left in confusion on Thursday after a young lady whose identity is yet to be made public reportedly jumped into a river in Osun State.

This medium gathered that the teenager was on a commercial motorcycle passing through Gbongan-Osogbo road before she suddenly alighted from the bike to receive a call.

An eyewitness, Tosin Olaleye who narrated the incident to journalists said the young lady after ending the call on her cell phone immediately jumped into the heavily flowing water at the Gbodofon Bridge in Osogbo.

The incident according to the eyewitness, happened at about 4:00 p.m on Thursday, October 20, 2022. “We saw her talking on the phone and when she alighted, she dropped the phone into her purse.”

“She dropped her bag and the next thing we noticed was that she jumped straight into the river.

“We were all shocked. Before anybody could do anything, she was already in the river and we did not see any trace of her again,” Daily Post quoted Olaleye as saying.

According to her, she and other passersby immediately raised an alarm and contacted the Federal Fire Service who also arrived at the scene within minutes.

Unfortunately, according to her, there was little they could do as several minutes of rescue efforts proved abortive.

“After several minutes of fruitless search, the firefighters left the scene without recording any success. The water level has increased because of the rain and that also made it more difficult for her to be found. No one could enter the river because of its intensity,” Olaleye added.

No details have emerged yet on why the young lady committed suicide and who she was talking with on the phone before the incident.
