jumping into Lagos Lagoon for some unknown reasons and some people attributed
it to this number calling people. They’ve flooded my WhatsApp with such
messages.

Leg Crossed
There's another mysterious number they said it has killed people. I received the warning on whatsapp that I should not answer or chat with the number. My Truecaller displayed the name of the number something like "mary" bla bla bla. I didn't save this number on my phone because I don't care nor believe on such things. But to my surprise that the same night I received chat message from the same name on snapchat. But I didn't notice on time, I thought the person was on my friends list, but when I checked my friends list I couldn't find her there. So I quickly blocked her. Honestly I was very scared and I prayed very well that night. So till today am still confused.
