Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after unexpectedly collapsing at the Government House in Yenagoa, the state capital, prompting immediate medical attention.
The cause of the collapse remains unknown, but sources told Punch Senator Ewhrudjakpo’s condition is being treated with urgency, with his situation described as serious.
A source said he was taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, for urgent medical attention.
However, this could not be independently confirmed, as the Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Ben Akpedi, did not respond to calls.
When contacted, the Deputy Governor’s media aide, Doubara Atasi, confirmed the development but declined to give details.
Asked to confirm the incident, Atasi said, “Yes,” and immediately ended the call.
