Commotion erupted at the office of the Niger state governor when a 46-year-old woman, identified as Belkisu Mahmoud  suddenly slumped and died at the premises.

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. Shortly after she was allowed to see the governor, she slumped in his office.

The Nation reports:

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.

Our source said that the woman who was on a private visit  was delayed in the waiting hall because her name was not on the approved protocol list of those to see the governor, but being a former staff officer (SO) in the Deputy Governor’s office.

There is no official statement from the government as at the time of filing this report but the governor was said to have hurriedly left office after the incident.

Doctors at the Minna General Hospital also refused to comment on the incident as they all kept sealed lips and avoided efforts to get them to comment.
