Man dies during wife’s 60th birthday in Lagos


A man identified as Akinyele tragically slumped and died on Saturday during his wife’s 60th birthday celebration at an event centre in the Egbeda area of Lagos State.

A viral video seen by our correspondent on Sunday captured the heartbreaking moment.

In the footage, Akinyele was speaking on stage when he suddenly collapsed.

Moments before the incident, he called his wife over and whispered a request for water.

When she didn’t respond immediately, he gestured again, signalling his need for water. Seconds later, he slumped.

He was said to have been quickly rushed to a nearby hospital after attempts to revive him at the venue failed.

He was reportedly pronounced dead upon arrival.

Efforts to confirm the incident with the Lagos State Police Command were unsuccessful, as the command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, had yet to respond to messages sent to his mobile phone at the time of filing this report.
