Woman slumps, dies in Governor Aliyu’s office

In an attempt to see the Niger State governor, Dr.
Babangida Aliyu in his (Aliyu) office in Minna, a
woman identified as Hajiya Bilkisu Mahmoud on
Monday slumped and died. Her death has been
attributed to delay on the part of the protocol
officers who failed to make it possible for her to see
the governor on time, as she had to wait for several
hours before been allowed into the governor’s
office.
Report says the 46-year- old woman had slumped
three minutes after she was allowed into the
governor’s office.
In an attempt to revive
her, she was rushed to
the Minna General
Hospital in a Government
House Ambulance, but
was later confirmed dead
by the doctors who
attended to her.
The late Bilkisu, before
her death, was suffering
from asthma and was
also a former Staff
Officer to the Deputy
Governor.
Sources from the
Government House,
Minna, said the
deceased’s name was
not on Monday visitor’s
list, as she was only
paying a private visit to
the governor.
The mother of three was
a staff of the State
Emergency Management
Agency before her death.
Governor Aliyu is yet to
make any official
statement regarding the
incident.
However, DailyPost has gathered that arrangement
towards Bilisu’s final interment has already
commenced.
