The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command rescued an elderly woman who attempted to jump into the lagoon from Carter Bridge on Friday. The incident occurred around 12:20 p.m. during a routine patrol, and officers were able to intervene in time to prevent a tragedy.
After the rescue, the woman was taken to the RRS Headquarters, where the squad’s commander, CSP Shola Jejeloye, listened to her concerns. He then arranged a private family meeting involving the woman, her husband, and their 30-year-old son, aimed at resolving underlying issues within the family.
Following the reconciliation, CSP Jejeloye provided extensive counseling and offered the woman a cash gift. The family expressed deep appreciation for the commander’s compassion and the timely intervention by the RRS. The woman has since been released into the care of her husband and son.
