Tragedy struck on Monday in Minna when an Assistant Comptroller of Immigration, Abdulrazak Umaru Ruma, slumped and died while presenting a paper at a Stakeholders Consultative Forum organised by the Federal Ministry of Police Affairs.
Ruma, who stood in for the Niger State Comptroller of Immigration arrived the workshop looking healthy but slumped few minutes into the presentation of his boss paper.
The pandemonium that ensued when Ruma slumped at Justice Legbo Kutigi Conference Centre, venue of the workshop nearly brought the workshop to a halt.
Though the organisers of the workshop rushed him to the Minna General Hospital, it was gathered that he died before getting to the hospital where he was certified dead.
The Niger State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Richard Oguche, confirmed the incident.
He said, “The preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased had a case of high blood pressure and he is an asthma patient.
“The Immigration Officer slumped while he was delivering his paper. We rushed him to hospital where he was confirmed dead.”
Oguche added that the state Police Command was pained at the loss of the officer while in active service and prayed God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
He also commiserated with the officers and men of the Immigration Service particularly those of the Niger State Command over Ruma’s sudden death. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
