Gowon Slumps In Delta

Former Nigerian Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, slumped during the funeral of the late Maj Gen David Akpodiete Ejoor in Ovwor-Olomu Community, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.

Vanguard reports that the incident  happened at the grave side while the funeral oration was ongoing.

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 tenth to ensure he recovers.

A military as well as the Delta State ambulances were immediately moved in to front of the tenth in case the former Head of State’s health deteriorates further. After a moment of suspense, Chief James Onanefe Ibori and Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa were seen coming from the special tenth, an indication that the former Army General has recovered.
