The passenger, later identified as Michael Hogan, was said to have boarded the taxi from Odeda in the Odeda Local Government Area and was on his way to Idi Aba in the Abeokuta metropolis, when the incident occurred.

The PUNCH correspondent gathered that the driver of the taxi knew that his passenger was dead when Hogan could not alight from the car on getting to Iyana Mortuary junction, Idi- Aba.

The driver consequently raised the alarm that attracted other motorists and passersby.

Hogan, who had been ill for some time, was said to be hurrying to the home of a vendor of herbal remedies in Abeokuta, when he died on the way.

Passersby were said to have encouraged the driver to take the remains of the passenger to the nearest police station ─ Kemta-Idi Aba Police Division.
