BY DAUD OLATUNJI
ABEOKUTA — A clergyman, Timothy Elugbemi, 55,
drove himself to a hospital in Sango Ota, Ogun
State, shouted hallelujah and died.
It was gathered that the deceased was attended to
by Dr. Ayo Adeoye, proprietor of Lolade Clinic and
Maternity Home, where he checked in for medical
attention.
Confirming the incident, Dr. Adeoye said the
clergyman complained of feeling unwell and was
subsequently attended to.
He said that after being confirmed medically fit, the
pastor exchanged pleasantries with the nurses at
the reception, but suddenly started saying
“halleluyah.”
Adeoye  said: “I cannot believe this. This was a man
who drove himself into the hospital and was
attended to and equally found fit.
“He suddenly started saying ‘halleluyah,’
‘halleluyah’ and before we knew it he lost
consciousness and died. I have never witnessed
this type of incidence since I started my medical
practice.”
