A routine drive turned tragic in Ketu, Lagos, after a man was found dead in his vehicle during a heavy traffic jam along the expressway. The man, whose identity was not immediately disclosed, had reportedly veered to the side of the road and parked, drawing attention from fellow drivers.
Witnesses say the car slowly pulled over, and when curious bystanders approached to check on the situation, they made a shocking discovery — the man had already passed away.
One female driver who was behind the deceased recounted how she noticed his unusual movement before he parked. Moments later, people gathered around his car, only to realise he was unresponsive and lifeless.
The sudden death caused a scene on the busy roadway, with passersby gathering and traffic officials redirecting vehicles to keep the road clear for emergency services and further investigation.
News of the incident quickly spread across social media, where a user on platform X (formerly Twitter) posted a video from the scene. The post went viral, prompting a wave of emotional reactions from Nigerians online.
Some commenters mourned the man and expressed concern about the toll of everyday stress on citizens, especially under Nigeria’s challenging economic conditions. Others offered words of advice, urging spouses and families to check in on their loved ones and be more attentive to warning signs of distress.
As the investigation into the cause of death continues, the incident has served as another grim reminder of the unseen battles many people face while going about their daily lives.
