Additionally, it was said that he made the decision to hike after trying in vain to find a point of sale (POS) agent to withdraw money.

 

“I’m finding it very difficult to believe this story that is breaking here,” Brown was quoted as saying.

 

“He (Baba Bintin) left his home like we all did this morning to come into this station to do our daily job and contribute our quota to national development; the job like we love to do, and I’m being told that the man just slumped this morning and he died while getting ready to come here.”
