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.
