The 2024 New Year celebration and the joy it heralded has been abruptly cut short for the family of Mr. Martins of Agbere town, Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, following the tragic death of Mrs. Martins who collapsed and died before getting to the hospital.
Mrs. Martins, who is said to be in her early 60’s, attended the Church service for the cross over night but unfortunately, immediately after shouting ‘Happy New Year’ out of excitement and happiness, collapsed.
“She danced, sang and also participated in the prayers actively. And as soon as the time clocked 12am when everybody were screaming, she also shouted it, a Church member narrated.”
Eye witness revealed that she was rushed to a hospital in the area, but was confirmed dead by medical personnel on arrival.
Her death has put an abrupt stop to the celebration for her family and members of her church and the community.
Meanwhile an unconfirmed source alleged that the lady died of high blood pressure. We sympathised with the family and loved ones. May she rest in peace.
