Chairman of Karu Local Government Area of
Nasarawa State, Godwin Chindo, Saturday,
slumped and died in his office while awaiting the
arrival of diplomats from Venezuela.
“My boss was preparing for the visit of the
diplomats from Venezuela, when he slumped. He
died before his aides could reach the nearby
hospital,” Alhassan Mohammed Nasir, the local
government council information officer told Daily
Trust by night.
He said his boss died at about 10:30am, while
rushing to dress up to receive the state deputy
governor, Silas Agara, who was on his was to
make up part of the government delegation to
receive the diplomats.
Venezuelan Vice Minister for Africa Affairs, Mr.
Jorge Arreaza, led a delegation to the area to
commission a school built and donated to the
council by his country’s embassy in Abuja.
“My boss was hale and hearty when he showed
up in the morning to supervise preparations for
the visit of the foreigners. He made sure
everything was in place to receive the deputy
governor, and the Venezuelan diplomats.
“Satisfied that all arrangements had been made,
he retired to his office. But a call came in,
informing him that the deputy governor was close
to Karu. So he rushed for his shoes, but he
couldn’t wear them. He screamed, still bending
and holding his stomach, and called for help,”
Nasir said.
He said the late council boss’ condition worsened
within seconds, making him weaker.
“He couldn’t even explain himself. He was rushed
to the hospital, but he died on his way,” Nasir
said.
He said doctors at the hospital confirmed he died
before reaching there.
The deceased corpse was taken to Abuja, where it
was deposited in a mortuary.
Chindo was sworn into office on March 24, last
year, after his election as the first democratic
leader of the area since 2008.
