Gowon Slumps In Delta State
Former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon on Friday slumped during the funeral of late Maj General David Akpodiete Ejoor in Ovwor-Olomu Community, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.
The incident happened at the grave side while the funeral oration was on going.
Some top echelons of the military promptly rushed the former Head of State into the special tenth for emergency resuscitation, just as Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa and Chief James Onanefe Ibori, former Governor of the Delta State, dashed into the tent to ensure he recovers.
A military as well as the Delta State government ambulances were immediately moved to front of the tent in anticipation that the former Head of State’s health may require further attention elsewhere.
After a moment of suspense, Chief Ibori and Governor Okowa were seen coming from the special tent, an indication that the former Army General has been revived.– Vanguard
