WOMAN SLUMPS, DIES WHILE GIVING TESTIMONY AT LAGOS CHURCH
A 55-year-old woman, identified only as Ifeoma, reportedly died shortly after collapsing while sharing a testimony at the Ministry Church in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State.
The incident, which was said to have occurred around 8:48 am during Sunday service on September 8, 2024, ultimately led to her death a few minutes later.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to newsmen on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old woman had allegedly gone to the front of the church, singing songs of gratitude as she prepared to give her testimony when she suddenly collapsed.
Hundeyin said that the 55-year-old was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
He stated, “The Zonal accountant of the church in Ejigbo came to the station and reported that during testimony hour in the church, while the service was on, Ifeoma came out singing songs to give her testimony when she suddenly slumped.
“She was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital but was referred to the General Hospital in Isolo, where she was confirmed dead.
“Based on the report, detectives were detailed to visit the hospital with the complainant. On getting there, they were told that the husband and family of the deceased had taken the corpse to Anambra State, where she came from for burial.”
It was reported in May 2024, a 30-year-old man who went to Elegushi Beach in Lagos for prayer was alleged to have drowned.
