The Lagos State Police Command has said a total number of seven persons have lost their lives to accidental drowning in different parts of the state this week.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, announced the the figure in a statement.

According to him, the incidents were recorded at hotel swimming pools, a beach, and the Third Mainland Bridge.

Recall that two passengers reportedly fell into the lagoon on Wednesday after a commercial bus crashed on the Third Mainland Bridge in the state.
