A sad news reaching
us from Plateau State is that Mr. Samuel Galadima, the state's commissioner for
Housing and Urban Development is dead.
He was said to
have slumped while jogging on Wednesday morning with Governor Simon Lalong at
the Rwang Pam Stadium in Jos, the state capital.
Mr. Galadima
was rushed to the Plateau Specialist Hospital, where he died.
Emmanuel
Nanle, director of press affairs, confirmed the incident to NAN.
“Yes, the
commissioner slumped while jogging and was rushed to the Plateau Specialist
Hospital, where he died,” he said.
Nanle said the
official was gasping for breath by the time he arrived the hospital.
“Doctors tried
to stabilise him but could not. We have lost him,” he said.
It was not
first time this kind of sudden death had happened. Recall the case was that of
the former governor of Benue State, Aper Aku, who also died while jogging.
