A 29-year-old passenger, identified as Anuoluwapo Aderemi, reportedly collapsed and died in a commercial bus in Ogun State.
It was gathered that Aderemi was travelling on a commercial bus from Papalanto Motor Park in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State to Ibadan, Oyo State.
The incident occurred at a filling station in Itori around 7:45 pm on Tuesday.
Spokesman of the Ogun Police Command, Odutola Omolola, confirmed the incident, saying the case was reported at the police station by the bus driver, Akeem Olorode.
“The driver was en route to Ibadan with a bus that seats 18 passengers, but was carrying only 15 travellers when they departed from Papalanto.
“At around 7:00 pm, the driver stopped at a filling station in Itori to refuel. While filling the tank, other passengers alerted him that one of the passengers was acting strangely and had become unconscious,” she said.
Odutola said while other passengers made attempts to administer first aid, Aderemi collapsed and passed away inside the bus.
