One commercial bus driver named, Lukman, has died behind the wheel while taking some students of the University of Ilọrin, Kwara State to the school campus.
The unfortunate incident occurred on Friday.
One of the passengers on the vehicle in a viral WhatsApp message narrated how it all happened saying, “Our bus driver just died on the road while driving us from the Sanrab Petrol Station area, Tanke, Ilorin to the university campus. I was sitting in the front but wasn’t looking up because I was reading the Qur’an on my phone.
“The other person beside me just called my attention shouting ‘Baba’multiple times. By the time I looked up, he was already gasping, and the bus was drifting away from the road. I had to press the brake, take control, and bring it to a halt. He was pronounced dead at the school clinic. Everything happened within 30 minutes.”
Additional report said the deceased has been buried according to Islamic rites.
