Reno was reacting to series of recent reports in which Nigerian’s attempt to kill themselves.
Recall that a doctor had jumped into the lagoon at Third Mainland Bridge last week.
This was followed by another case of two women who were rescued from jumping into the Lagoon by the Lagos State Police Command.
Reno noted that the Government may succeed in policing the Lagoon, but wondered what happens to several unreported cases of people killing themselves in the villages.

In a post he shared on his Instagram page, he wrote, “Never in the history of Nigeria has s**cide been so widespread.
“There is so much despair in the Land. We need police presence around the Lagoon in Lagos. But my thinking is even if we police the Lagoon, how many s**cide go unreported in villages across Nigeria?
“This is not PDP or APC. If doctors and business men and women are being moved to su*cide, what about the increasing number of unemployed?
“I call on churches to shift focus from miracles and financial breakthroughs to extending love to the broken, abandoned, lonely and unemployed in their communities.
“Sell your founders private planes and ues the money to feed thousands as Jesus fed thousands.”
