A 55-year-old woman simply identified as Ifeoma reportedly died shortly after collapsing while sharing a testimony at the Ministry Church in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that the incident, which occurred around 8:48 am during Sunday service on September 8, 2024, ultimately led to her death a few minutes later.
SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the state police command, confirmed this on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old woman had reportedly gone to the front of the church, singing songs of gratitude as she prepared to give her testimony, when she suddenly collapsed.
Hundeyin mentioned that the 55-year-old woman was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
He stated, “The Zonal accountant of the church in Ejigbo came to the station and reported that during testimony hour in the church, while the service was on, Ifeoma came out singing songs to give her testimony when she suddenly slumped.
“She was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital but was referred to the General Hospital in Isolo, where she was confirmed dead.
