Woman Slumps and Dies Inside Niger State Governor’s Office

Commotion erupted at the office of the Niger state governor,
Babangida Aliyu on Monday when a 46-year-old woman, identified as
Belkisu Mahmoud suddenly slumped and died under controversial
circumstances.

It was gathered that the deceased, Hajiya Mahmoud, mother of three
children had waited for several hours to see the governor but was
denied access to see him.

The governor was said to be indisposed as he had a lot of files to
treat due to the New Year break. But shortly after she was allowed to
see the governor, she slumped in his office.

Source in the governor’s office who spoke in confidence said the
woman who was suspected to be asthmatic was immediately rushed
to the Minna General Hospital where a doctor confirmed her dead.

The woman who was on a private visit to the office was delayed in the
waiting hall because her name was not on the approved protocol list
of those to see the governor
It seems she was a former staff officer (SO) in the Deputy Governor’s
office.

Doctors at the Minna General Hospital kept sealed lips and refused to
comment on the unfortunate incident.
