A woman identified as Miss Lucy Gbagyo, recently lost her life after jumping out of a speeding commercial bus in the Shogunle area of Lagos State.
The tragic incident happened on Sunday when the deceased was going to see her fiancé and boyfriend of four years, Philip Nguhwa, to discuss plans for their upcoming wedding slated for February 27, 2015.
Eyewitnesses told Punch newspaper that the deceased jumped out of the vehicle when the bus driver drove past her destination.
She had boarded a vehicle from the Toll Gate end of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway en route to Ilori Street in the Shogunle area where Nguhwa lives but when she alerted the driver, he ignored her.
In the process, she reportedly forced the door open and jumped out.
It wasn’t until then that the driver brought the vehicle to a halt.
It was one of the passengers that had gathered in the area to save the victim that put a call through to her fiance.
“One of them picked her phone and checked the last dialed number. He saw my number and called me. He said I should rush down to the bus stop.
“When I got there, I called her name and she opened her eyes faintly and shut them again. We all carried her into the bus and rushed her to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
“We had not gone too far when she died in the vehicle. When we got to the hospital, she was confirmed dead on arrival.” Her fiance said
The police has since arrested both the driver and the conductor of the vehicle.
