A female worshipper has been killed in a lone-vehicle crash at the NYSC Bus Stop, inward Igando area of Lagos, according to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
The victim was reportedly on her way to a service at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries in Igando when she was struck by a Mercedes-Benz C-300 while walking along a designated pedestrian path.
Authorities said the driver fled immediately after the incident.
