The Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Honourable James Ocholi (SAN) is dead.
Ocholi is reported to have been involved in a road accident on Sunday, while travelling from Kaduna to Abuja.
Although neither the veracity of the accident nor death of the
Minister can be immediately ascertained, the reports are largely
believed to be true.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir
Ahmad’s tweet on James Ocholi’s death further gives credence to the
report.
Meanwhile, Vanguard reports that a family source revealed that ‘the
accident which involved his vehicle; a Prado jeep and another Lexus jeep
also left his wife in serious coma’.
The minister’s son and his aide-de-camp were also said to have been in the car, when the accident occurred.
