Passenger dies in Bolt cab in Lagos
The police in Lagos State have begun investigating circumstances that led to the death of a passenger in a Bolt car in Lagos.
The spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, told journalists about the investigation on Wednesday in Lagos.
He said a Bolt car driver (name not mentioned), reported the death of a passenger in his car at Ilasan Police Division on Monday.
The driver claimed that he received an order from the customer to take him from Osapa London, Lekki, to the Ikate area of Lekki.
“While in transit, the customer screamed and shouted `my heart’. Instantly, his mood changed.
“The customer was rushed to a hospital at Jakande 1st Gate, Lekki and later to another hospital also in Lekki, where he was pronounced dead,’’ Mr Hundeyin quoted the Bolt driver as stating at the police station.
Mr Hundeyin said police visited the hospital, photographed the deceased, contacted family members and deposited the corpse at the Infectious Diseases Hospital mortuary at Marina for preservation and autopsy.
