“As I speak to you, I am in serious pain. I was on my way back from the ATM and was about to cross the road when the commercial bus came from behind. It had no lights so there was no way I could have seen it coming. I just felt this massive impact knocking the wind out of my body, as the bus hit me from behind on top speed and sped off,” he narrated.

Ikujenyo says that he came to about 30 minutes later only to discover that he had been rescued by Good Samaritans, who revived and took him home.
