A lady identified as Lucy Gbagyo, 27, has died after jumping offa speeding commercial bus in the Shogunle area of Lagos State.
She was on way to see her fiance, Philip Nguhwa, for preparations for their wedding when the incident
happened.
Gbagyo
and Nguhwa were to have slated their wedding for February 27, 2015, having
courted for four years.
It was learnt that on the fateful day,
the deceased had boarded a vehicle from the Toll Gate end of the
Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway en route to Ilori Street in the Shogunle area
where Nguhwa lives.
The bus driver was said to have sped past her destination and she began to shout for him to stop.
The driver allegedly ignored her and continued with the journey.
When her cries fell on deaf ears, she reportedly forced the door open and jumped out.
Her fiance, Nguhwa, a trader, said the
driver immediately stopped the vehicle as other passengers and
sympathisers in the area rushed to save the victim.
He said, “One of them picked her phone
and checked the last dialled number. He saw my number and called me. He
said I should rush down to the bus stop.
“When I got there, I called her name and
she opened her eyes faintly and shut them again. We all carried her into
the bus and rushed her to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
“We had not gone too far when she died in the vehicle. When we got to the hospital, she was confirmed dead on arrival.”
