VOICE AIR MEDIA, VAM News Update

Lukman, a commercial bus driver, tragically passed away after collapsing at the wheel while transporting University of Ilorin students to the campus.

The incident reportedly took place on Friday, leaving the passengers stunned.

A passenger who witnessed the event shared in a widely circulated WhatsApp message that he assumed control of the moving bus after the incident to safeguard fellow students and prevent a potential disaster.

He said, “Our bus driver just died on the road while driving us from the Sanrab Petrol Station area, Tanke, Ilorin to the university campus. I was sitting in the front but wasn’t looking up because I was reading the Qur’an on my phone.

“The other person beside me just called my attention shouting ‘Baba’multiple times. By the time I looked up, he was already gasping, and the bus was drifting away from the road. I had to press the brake, take control, and bring it to a halt. He was pronounced dead at the school clinic. Everything happened within 30 minutes.”

A colleague of the deceased, Sulyman Malik, explained, “He greeted me on Thursday about my own recent accident.

“This just shows that this life is vanity. He has since been buried according to Islamic rites. He was a very handsome man and you would not think of his death even in the next 30 years”.

Confirming the incident, the Director of Information, University of Ilorin, Mr Kunle Akogun, described it as unfortunate.
Akogun said, “The incident is very unfortunate, and it reminds us of the vanity of life.”
