 The deceased, a tricycle rider, was said to have arrived at the bridge, parked his tricycle, and jumped into the river which is just a few metres from the popular Dunamis Church in Lokoja.

 A witness who pleaded anonymity disclosed that they were shocked when the deceased took his life untimely.

 He blamed the current hardship facing the country as one of the reasons why such a person could decide to take his own life.

 “There is nothing anybody could do when the Keke man jumped into the river.
