An eyewitness reported that the rider called for help, drawing the attention of passersby who confirmed that the woman was no longer breathing. “I was near the Isheri bus stop when I heard the tricycle rider shouting for help. We saw a woman unresponsive, her head resting on the tricycle’s barricade,” he said.
