In a shocking turn of events, panic gripped the Mechanic Village in the Idimu area of Lagos State on Friday as a middle-aged man, identified only as AJ, was discovered lifeless in his vehicle. The unsettling discovery sent shockwaves through the community, leaving residents in disbelief.
Reports from Findwhosabi reveal that the deceased, a devoted member of a local church, was attending the Good Friday service when the unfortunate incident occurred. Witnesses recounted that AJ had stepped out of the service momentarily to retrieve something from his parked car on the church premises.
An eyewitness, speaking anonymously, recounted the chilling moment when another church member stumbled upon AJ sitting motionless in his vehicle. Despite attempts to engage him in conversation, AJ remained unresponsive, prompting grave concern among onlookers.
“It was at that point that he discovered that he was not moving at all. So, he quickly alerted other members who rushed out of the church to see what was going on. Efforts were made to revive him, but he was already foaming from his mouth and that was when we realized he was dead,” the eyewitness revealed.
The sudden tragedy cast a pall over the community, prompting the premature end of the church service as members grappled with shock and sorrow. Witnesses described scenes of mourning and consolation as female members rallied around AJ’s devastated wife, offering solace in the wake of the heartbreaking loss.
Lukmon Salako, a mechanic present at the scene, recounted the somber atmosphere that engulfed the Mechanic Village, with mournful faces and solemn gestures permeating the air. “The wife of the deceased was also sitting on the floor while the female members of the church were consoling her,” Salako recalled.
In a grim aftermath, AJ’s lifeless body was transported to the nearest hospital, where medical personnel confirmed his passing. Despite inquiries, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, remained unaware of the incident, leaving lingering questions unanswered amidst the community’s grief-stricken state.
As the community grapples with the sudden loss of one of its own, the memory of AJ serves as a poignant reminder of life’s fragility, urging all to cherish each moment and hold loved ones close. Stay tuned as further details unfold in this tragic saga. 🕊️💔
