People initially ignored her until a man stepped forward and tried to revive her, which caused others to draw closer and render help.

They poured water on the Alhaja, who was dressed like an eleha, a term for a Muslim woman covered in a black garment.

Afterwards, the man offered her a malt drink, but she refused, maintaining that she was partaking in the Ramadan fasting and couldn't take anything.

Pastor shares rice to fasting Muslims

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a pastor distributed plates of rice to fasting Muslims.

A Facebook user, Bakare Gboyega, shared pictures of the Iftar food support organised by the kind pastor.

Recall that the same pastor renovated a mosque in 2021, which was also covered in a viral news story by Legit.ng. The pastor was also the mastermind behind a feeding program that fed over 20,000 people across the Osun West senatorial district in December 2023.
