A Journalist in Bauchi,
Malam Ibrahim Aliyu, on Thursday slumped and died while working on a story at
the Government House, Bauchi.
The News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) gathered that Aliyu, Government House Correspondent of the Bauchi
State Television (BATV), was writing his report on the Armed Forces Remembrance
Day, when he suddenly collapsed.
He was rushed to the
hospital, where he was confirmed dead moments later.
Malam Kabiru Ilela, his
Cameraman, who witnessed the incident, told NAN that the late Aliyu had worked
throughout the day and was compiling his report at about 5.30pm, when he
suddenly started “jerking”.
“He had his meal by his
side as he was writing the report, when his mood suddenly changed and he
started jerking, collapsing in the process.
“We raised alarm and
sought for help to convey him to the hospital. On reaching the Abubakar Tafawa
Balewa University Teaching Hospital, a doctor confirmed that he had died,”
Ilela said.
Aged 37, the deceased
left behind two wives, six children, an aged mother and four brothers.
