There was confusion at the Ilasamaja bus stop along the Oshodi-Apapa
Expressway on Thursday when pedestrians found a middle-aged man stripped
half-naked and lying dead beside his vehicle.
the man, identified as Emmanuel Ochugbu who lives that 60-year-old Ochugbu lived at Taofik Street in the Aboru area of Lagos.,
was found by pedestrians and motorists lying beside a Toyota Camry 2004
model, believed to be his vehicle, around 6am.
However, while some passersby were of the
opinion that the man could have been poisoned and struggled to get to
the location where he eventually died, others believed that he was
killed by suspected assassins, who made it looked like an accident.
An eyewitness, Mr. Akeem Opeola, said the
incident caused traffic snarl in the morning as many people stopped to
stare and inquire what could have happened to the victim.
He said, “The man was lying in the middle
of the smaller expressway. It was shocking to see an elderly man in
that manner. He foamed at the mouth and looked as if he had been dead
since last night.
