According to reports, Ifeoma, a 55-year-old woman, passed very soon after she lost consciousness during a testimony at the Ministry Church in the Ejigbo neighborhood of Lagos State.
She passed away a few minutes after the incident, which happened on September 8, 2024, during Sunday worship, at approximately 8:48 am, according to information.
This was verified on Wednesday by Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police command’s spokesperson.
The 55-year-old woman is said to have gone to the front of the chapel and started to sing hymns of thanksgiving before collapsing.
According to Hundeyin, the 55-year-old was declared dead after being brought to a hospital.
“The Zonal accountant of the Ejigbo church came to the station and reported that Ifeoma suddenly slumped during testimony hour in the church while the service was in progress. Ifeoma had come out singing songs to give her testimony,” he said.
“She was taken to a local hospital right away, but upon arrival, she was directed to the General Hospital in Isolo, where her death was officially declared.”
Detectives were instructed to accompany the complainant to the hospital based on the report. When they arrived, they were informed that the deceased’s husband and relatives had returned her body to Anambra State, where she was originally buried.
According to the report, a 30-year-old man is said to have drowned in May 2024 after traveling to Elegushi Beach in Lagos for prayer.
