Man slumps and dies while jogging in Abuja

 

A yet-to-be identified man collapsed and died while jogging on Wednesday morning on Arab Road, Kubwa, a satellite town in Bwari Area Council of the FCT.

According to Daily Trust, effort by the people around who rushed to resuscitate him proved abortive as he died on the spot.

A footage made available by a witness, Samson Emeka, showed the body of the man, wearing a Juventus jersey and a black pair of trainers, lying on a pavement.

Emeka said, “I was jogging on Arab Road around 6.30am when I heard people shouting behind me. When I looked back, I saw a man lying on the ground. The man struggled to regain consciousness, but unfortunately he didn’t and he died.”

A police officer at the Kubwa division who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the man suffered suspected cardiac arrest.

He said his remains had been evacuated to the mortuary.
