Passenger Dies Inside A Cab In Ogun by ishowdotgmail(m): 4:05am On Jun 23, 2015
Tragedy struck in the Kemta, Idi Aba area of Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Monday after a passenger died inside a taxi on his way to buy herbal remedies.

The passenger, later identified as Michael Hogan, was said to have boarded the taxi from Odeda in the Odeda Local Government Area and was on his way to Idi Aba in the Abeokuta metropolis, when the incident occurred.

Our correspondent gathered that the driver of the taxi knew that his passenger was dead when Hogan could not alight from the car on getting to Iyana Mortuary junction, Idi- Aba.

The driver consequently raised the alarm that attracted other motorists and passersby.

Hogan, who had been ill for some time, was said to be hurrying to the home of a vendor of herbal remedies in Abeokuta, when he died on the way.

Passersby were said to have encouraged the driver to take the remains of the passenger to the nearest police station ─ Kemta-Idi Aba Police Division.

At the police station, the police had to contend with the curious crowd that besieged the station to catch a glimpse of both the driver and the corpse.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the incident and said the driver discovered that Hogan had died in his car at the Iyana Mortuary area around 7.45am, adding that the driver went to the nearest police station to report it.

Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said the family of the deceased, had been contacted, and they claimed Hogan had been ill for a long time.

He said, “The family said Hogan left home early in the morning for Abeokuta to collect herbal remedies, not knowing that would be his end.

“The police will soon release the corpse to the family for burial after due process must have been followed.”

What an irony that he died at Iyana Mortuary bus stop. May he rest in peace.
