Many passersby were shocked by the sight of a middle-aged man identified simply as Mr Akpomedaye, who slumped and died on Friday while driving along CMD Road, Magodo, Lagos.
It was learnt that the man lived in Magodo Phase II and was driving out in a Honda Accord when he suddenly pulled over close to a police checkpoint linking Otedola Bridge, where men of the Rapid Response Squad are usually stationed.
A 43-second video of the scenario showed Akpomedaye, dressed in white shorts and a black T-shirt, lying lifeless on the reclined driver’s seat as a team of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency Response Unit checked his pulse.
