The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has confirmed the death of a female worshipper of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Church following a lone vehicular accident at the NYSC Bus-Stop inward Igando, Lagos State.

In a press release on Saturday, the agency stated that it “solemnly notifies the public of a grievous lone-vehicle accident that culminated in the tragic and untimely death of a female pedestrian at the NYSC Bus-Stop, inward Igando, Lagos.”

According to LASTMA, the deceased was “peacefully en route to a worship service at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Church, Igando,” when she was fatally struck by a Mercedes-Benz C-300.

Reports indicated that the victim was “lawfully navigating the designated pedestrian corridor when the vehicle, under circumstances yet to be definitively ascertained, veered into her pathway with devastating and irreversible consequences.”

The agency disclosed that upon receiving distress alerts, its personnel stationed along the Igando axis responded swiftly. It noted that officers “promptly cordoned off the accident scene to forestall secondary collisions and ensure the safety of other road users,” while vehicular movement was regulated to prevent congestion and additional hazards.

In what it described as “a deeply reprehensible development,” LASTMA said the driver of the Mercedes-Benz C-300 fled the scene after realising the fatal outcome of the crash. The agency stated that “this act of flight not only compounds the gravity of the tragedy but also constitutes a flagrant violation of statutory and civic obligations incumbent upon motorists involved in traffic incidents.”

The accident vehicle was subsequently secured and evacuated through joint efforts between LASTMA operatives and officers of the Nigeria Police Force, Igando Division. The coordinated response, according to the statement, ensured the restoration of normal traffic flow in the area.

The tragedy reportedly reverberated at the church when news reached congregants during service. The victim’s husband, who was present at the time, later proceeded to the scene alongside other members and conveyed her remains for necessary rites.

LASTMA added that the causative factors behind the incident remain under investigation by the Nigeria Police Force, noting that findings would guide “appropriate prosecutorial measures against the fleeing driver in accordance with extant traffic and criminal statutes.”

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, extended condolences to the bereaved family and the MFM Church community, praying that “Almighty God grant them the fortitude and spiritual resilience required to endure the irreparable loss.”

He reaffirmed the agency’s “unwavering commitment to the preservation of human life and the strict enforcement of traffic discipline across Lagos roadways,” urging motorists to exercise vigilance, obey speed regulations and respect pedestrian rights at all times.

Heaven protect all individuals in this nation Amen

The driver should just report himself with his lawyer to the police because he will be fished out eventually and tried for manslaughter

Na one of the reasons why I no dey go church be this.
Person fit go die for road.

If you want to sympathize with the victim family is normal..but trying to justify it for the reason you're not going to church is unrelatable 💯

Now escaping is understandable when the tendency of violence is probable.

But not reporting yourself to the police immediately is where you become a criminal.

Who told you that she is. Christian?
If anything this is a sign that God has caught her.

This is one of the many ways God uses to catch women when they think they have been escaping God and bribing Him with prayers and fastings and acts of kindness

It's not even about the death I am talking about. How was he able to get out from that car unhurt and run without nobody apprehending him

Where is he running to? Police?

hopefully the car is registered

that way it can be traced back to the owner

The driver would be traced so far the car is registered or insured.

The prophet Isaiah has a reply to you.

Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.

Isaiah 57:1-2.

God does not see death, the way we see death.
For the righteous , death is an escape, a portal to glory.
If she is born again, then she is the lucky one.

If anybody should worry, it's us who remain on the earth.

Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”
Rev 12:12.

She is my auntie and It was a devastating News yesterday morning. Her may soul rest in peace. It is a big lost to our family.
