According to The PUNCH, a 70-year-old woman died at the Plateau State Specialists Hospital on Saturday after allegedly hit by a convoy of Governor Simon Lalong.
It was learnt that the governor was on his way to a golf club when the incident occurred at the Rayefield axis of Jos, the state capital.
A granddaughter of the deceased, who confirmed the woman’s death, said, “It was this (Saturday) morning; my grandmother was crossing the road when she was hit by the governor’s convoy. She was immediately rushed to the Plateau State Specialists Hospital.
“It was this (Saturday) morning; my grandmother was crossing the road when she was hit by the governor’s convoy. She was immediately rushed to the Plateau State Specialists Hospital.
“Unfortunately, she died shortly after. But when we enquired to know why they hit our mother, one of the security officers in the convoy said they did not see her while she was crossing. It’s really sad.”
But the Commissioner for Information, Dan Manjang, denied any involvement of the governor’s convoy in the death of the woman.
