He was reportedly taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, for urgent medical attention. However, this could not be independently verified, as the hospital’s Public Relations Officer, Ben Akpedi, did not respond to calls.
When reached for confirmation, the Deputy Governor’s media aide, Doubara Atasi, simply said, “Yes,” and immediately ended the call, offering no further details about his condition.
More updates are expected as the situation develops.
