The Lagos state police command has explained why it is holding in its custody, the Uber driver that carried 22-year-old LASU graduate, Daibo Davies Toju, who jumped into the Lagos lagoon, last week Saturday February 15th after an Instagram user, close to the Uber driver, cried out for help, alleging that he was being detained at the police station in Adekunle over the case.

Lagos police public Relations Officer Lagos, SP Bala Elkana, in explaining, said, ”Yes he is, we are still investigating and there are a lot of questions to be answered. The person making the noise is talking based on what was pushed in social media but the investigators will do their job and we will make the finding public.”
Pressed further, said, Well at this stage it will be took early to say something. I think we should allow investigators do their job. The search and rescue teams are still searching for the corpse and are yet to it which is a bit strange. They are still searching.
There are questions we are asking.
The first question we are asking is that If you go to the Third mainland bridge, you will see a lot of police deployment.
We did that deliberately because of incidences of police jumping into the lagoon and that has really help because if you look at the figures from 2018, we had 80 cases of suicide, 2019 it has dropped down because of this measure. This year too, the figure is still low.
The Uber driver knows that third mainland bridge is not a parking space for anybody, it is not a parking zone, It is not an hospital. If you have a sick customer, it is not an hospital for you to take him to.
The whole thing happened within seconds. Only him saw him jump. We have marine boats that patrol that area. Nobody saw him in the water and for over a week now we haven’t found his body. So, there are a lot of stories are even coming up. His father and mother are even staying apart so he is a product of a broken home. There are a lot of things going on. There are a lot of things going on so we don’t want to preempt at this stage.
There are more to that story that story that we need to investigate.
