46-Year-Old Woman DIES While Waiting To See Governor Aliyu

Niger State - A 46-year-old woman died today in the office of Niger State Governor, Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu, after waiting for several hours to see him.

The deceased was identified as Hajiya Belkisu Mahmoud, a mother-of-three. She had to wait for a couple of hours to see the Governor who was busy after the New Year break.

Eyewitnesses say that the woman, who was allegedly suffering from asthma, was immediately rushed to the Minna General Hospital. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead later.
Apparently, Ms. Mahmoud was denied access to the Governor as her name was not on the approved protocol list of those to see him.
There is no official statement from the government yet, but Mr. Aliyu reportedly left the office after the incident.
Doctors at the Minna General Hospital refused to comment on the incident.
