The Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory Police
Command, Haruna Garba, has ordered the State Criminal Investigation Department
to immediately take over from the Mabushi Police Division, an ongoing
investigation into the alleged poisoning of the Minister of Tourism, Lola
Ade-John, who has been hospitalised at the Federal Medical Centre.
The FCT Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP
Josephine Adeh, revealed the development on Saturday in an exclusive telephone
interview with our correspondent.
“The CP has ordered the Mabushi Police Division that was
investigating the matter to immediately transfer it to the SCID,” SP Adeh
revealed.
Ade-John, 60, who was appointed as a minister by President Bola Tinubu in August, has been hospitalised in Abuja after being said to have suffered acute poisoning from an unknown origin, as her family members fear that time was running against their efforts to save her life.
It was learnt that the minister was rushed to the Federal
Medical Centre, Jabi, shortly after she started manifesting symptoms of
illness, according to family sources familiar with her ordeal. She had spent
five days at the facility as of Saturday morning, our correspondent gathered.
Officials at the FMC could not be reached as they did not
respond to phone calls and text messages from our correspondent.
