Mr Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, the General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), confirmed the incident in Lagos.
He said that the man’s wife was thrown out by the vehicle as it somersaulted before plunging into the lagoon.
The LASEMA official said the accident occurred at about 1.00 a.m., and that the dead bodies had been deposited at a mortuary while the woman was taken to a hospital. Continue..
"We have recovered the dead bodies and have transferred them to the appropriate quarters for the necessary actions. The woman, rescued at the scene by emergency officials, has been taken to a hospital for treatment. Search for the vehicle, an ash Toyota jeep, is still ongoing. We are doing everything to get it out of the lagoon,’’ he said.
The general manager, who had yet to ascertain the cause of the accident, urged the state residents to be safety-conscious.

Oh GOD save us all . This is heartbreaking, console their families LORD.
So so sad! I saw the rescue team this morning on my way to work. I think LCC did not do enough to protect motorist from that lagoon. The 3 lane road became even smaller at that bridge, LCC kept the bridge the same size it was when the road was 2 lanes. And We are paying Toll fee on that Lekki - Epe express way.
May there soul find peace.....Amen
sad sad news... wish we had a speedy rescue team in Nigeria. We loose lives unnecessarily

Fuck u man, they shud be safety conscious, but ur stupid punk ass can't be rescue conscious. May God punish d idiot dat made dat statement, does he even know how it feels to drown. He shud try putin his head in a bucket full of water and see how it feels, cowards
And 2 every one of u saying RIP, do u even know wht RIP means, u saying RIP jst becos u want to comment, forgeting 2 cry out and state d obvious dat nigeria needs a prompt rescue team 2 fight such bastard accidents, my hrt bleeds, and I wish their souls not 2 rest yet, but 2 torment all relevant government officials who shud look in2 securing d life of d pple rather dan stealing from d pple. Am angry
RiP 2 them.
Oh my gosh what a pathetic news may his soul n the dawta rest in peace Amen
God have MERCY on us,we are not The most righteous yet He allows us live on... may we not die untimely n unnatural death... Nigerians need to take swimming as an important sport,my fear of that 3rd mainland bridge keeps growing... Full recovery to the wife only God can console her for this great loss
I totally agree with u m8!! Their souls will not rest and will seriously torment every bloody govt. Official that shld be looking into saftey of life but rather neglecting it and stealing money, fuckers!! It might sound harsh but dat is what nigeria has come to now
U are very stupid. Infact, u are a goat meat. That is how your soul wil never rest in peace until it finished tormenting umunna gi. Ewu gambia. Govt this,, govt that
Anonymous all ur life@ u doing dsame tin dat didn't mk ur fada live long abi
The problem with nigeria is nigerians.all I read here is 'rip'God dis and God that.Next please...this mental laziness will keep taking this country backwards.noone wants to ask the right questions and demand answers.God will NOT come down to solve our manmade problems.sme people put themselves in trouble,some stay where trouble will meet them.some associate with trouble makers and become collateral damage.since we dont have a government, let us learn to take responsiblity for our actions.speaking of questions...where were the whole family going at 1am?probably at high speed cos its only nigerian to drive fast no matter the condition of the road or time of day.did the man fall asleep?what exactly happened?these are pertinent questions that an inquest will raise so a future occurence can be forestalled.but will nigrian police do that?its hard enough to recover the body,let alone rescue the living victims...all we do is say 'rip'God this,not my portion,I'm favoured,blood of Jesus....its sad.really
This is very Bad, not good @ all. May there soul RIP.
Nigerians tho, everything they blame it on govt officials, if una shit sef hard im sure some of u wud still sey its govt officials. ...haba.u cannot conclude on the cos of the accident it cud have been anytin plssss give me a brk.may there souls rest in peace
