Dr Allwell Orji's suicide: Police to analyse doctor’s phone

Hours after Dr Allwell Orji's body was recovered and confirmed by his family, the Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has said the command would liaise with his grieving mother to dig into information on his mobile phone.

This is to enable the police force unravel the circumstances surrounding his suicide.

You recall, Allwell Orji, a medical doctor, had jumped into the Lagos Lagoon on the Third Mainland Bridge last Sunday.

Orji was being driven in his Sport Utility Vehicle with number plate, LND 476 EE, en route to Lagos
Island at about 4pm on Sunday when he told the driver to stop after receiving a call.

The unmarried doctor disembarked from the vehicle, headed for the railings on the edge of the bridge, and jumped into the lagoon.

The family on Tuesday rejected a corpse found by the police, saying it was not the remains of their late member.

Twenty four hours after the rejection, Allwell’s brother, Austin and his driver, identified another body found in the waterways as that of the deceased.

The state police command said an analysis would be conducted on the mobile phone of the late doctor to unravel the circumstances surrounding his suicide.
The state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said:

 “The corpse was recovered by the Marine Police around 4pm. The police will use technical platforms to analyse his phone to investigate the suicide.”
