A 45-year-old man identified simply as Kazeem has drowned in a river at Odo Tente, a boundary community between Lagos and Ogun states.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday after Kazeem allegedly took hard drugs and went into the river, according to PUNCH Metro.
A resident, who spoke with the newspaper, said the deceased had been under the influence of drugs before entering the river.
The circumstances surrounding his decision to enter the water remain unclear, while efforts to save him were unsuccessful.
The incident has once again raised concerns about the dangers of swimming or entering waterways while under the influence of substances that may impair judgment and coordination.
The Odo Tente community is located around the boundary between Lagos and Ogun states.
