IMO LG CHAIRMAN DROPS DEAD AFTER VISITING COMMISSIONER

Transition Committee chairman of Ehime Mbano LGA in Imo State, Mrs Chioma Ogoke on Sunday slumped and died.

The chairman was said to have died of heart attack after visiting the Owerri residence of one of the commissioners presently serving in Governor Rochas Okorocha’s administration.

Mrs Ogoke, who is the former Commissioner for Commerce and Industry under the present government, was rushed to hospital immediately she slumped but was confirmed dead at the hospital.

In a statement issued yesterday, the Imo State government said that the state had lost one of the key players in the Rescue Mission administration.

In a statement signed by Mr Sam Onwuemeodo, senior special adviser to the governor on Media, the government described the demise of the TC boss as most tragic and shocking.

“With sobriety and high sense of regret, the government of Imo State wishes to inform the good people of the state and Nigerians in general, that one of the key players in the Rescue Mission administration in the state, and indeed the Transition Committee chairman of Ehime Mbano Local Government Area, Chief (Mrs.) Chioma Ogoke is dead. She died of heart attack.

“Mrs. Ogoke was also the Honourable Commissioner of Commerce and Industry at the inception of the Rescue Mission administration in the state.

“Governor Rochas Okorocha describes her death as unbelievable and to large extent shocking, because the death of the woman had come when her services to both God and the people of the state would have been highly needed.

“The Imo state government, as a matter of fact, sincerely regrets her death, and prays that the Almighty God, who knew why he allowed Mrs. Ogoke to die at this stage, should grant her eternal rest.

“The government also prays that God would give the entire family all they need to bear with the great loss,” he said.
