According to a report by Gistmania, the police at Idimu
Division seemed to be in dilemma yesterday on what to
do with the corpse of an unidentified commercial driver
who was found dead inside his bus after parking on the
high way in Lagos.
It was gathered that the police was yet to have any
contact with his family because there was no way to
locate the family yet.
The incident happened close to Council bus stop in
Idimu area of Lagos where he was plying before he was
found dead on the driver’s seat.
The matter was reported to the Idimu Police Division
and the DPO led his team to the scene, recovered the
corpse and deposited at the mortuary for autopsy
report. The yellow commercial bus inside which the
deceased passed on was also recovered and parked at
the police station as exhibit.
The cause of his death was not yet known as the
autopsy report was not yet out.
However, residents suspected that he might have died
due to stress or may have had a terminal ailment that
would have caused his death.
It was gathered that there was no incidence of accident
in the area and the bus had no scratch or damage.
When We visited the police station, the DPO was not
around to comment on the matter. However, police
sources confirmed the incident and said that they were
working to contact his family.
A police source said the corpse has been deposited at
the Yaba mortuary, and if the family was not located
within a stipulated time, the corpse will qualify for mass
burial by the state government
