A yet to be identified man has died allegedly watching football in an open bar along Lagos-Abeokuta expressway in Lagos.
It was discovered that the deceased, a man in his fifties, was a frequent patron of the open bar prior to the incident and had visited on May 15, 2024 to watch a football game.
But problems arose when it was later found that he was sleeping and that attempts to wake him up were unsuccessful.
The Lagos State Police Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident by saying that on May 15, 2024, at approximately 7pm, the owner of the open bar came to Elere Division to report that the same day, one of his male customers—whose name and address are unknown—died while watching a football game.
