A yet-to-be-identified man has reportedly died in Oluyole Estate, in the Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State, while queuing to buy fuel at a petrol station in the community.
The tragic incident happened on Thursday.
It was gathered that nobody was aware that the man, who rested his head on his steering, had given up the ghost on the queue until when other customers were pressing their car horns to alert him to move forward that they realised that he was dead.
The deceased had rested his head on the steering of his car with registration number AKD 878 GP, giving the impression that he was sleeping. Motorists behind him pressed their car horns to alert him to move forward but there was no movement. This made them come down from their vehicles in order to ‘wake him up.’ It was at this point that it was discovered that he was unconscious.
The victim’s car has been moved to the nearest police station, while his corpse has been deposited in a morgue.
The state police command is yet to comment on this development.
