Panic as Commissioner dies while jogging with Plateau state Governor, Simon Lalong

 

 

 

Plateau Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Samuel Galadima, slumped and died Wednesday morning.

He died while jogging along with Governor Simon Lalong, at the Rwang Pam Stadium, Jos.

Emmanuel Nanle, Director of Press Affairs, said, “the commissioner slumped while jogging and was rushed to the Plateau Specialist Hospital, where he died.”

Nanle said that 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

The incident occurred a week after Pius Dashe, the Chief Administration Officer, Plateau State Government House, died.

Dashe passed away less than one month after the demise of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Alhaji Yusuf Hawaja, who died on February 19.
