The personal assistant to Benue State governor Gabriel Suswam on security, Mr Patrick Gwar, yesterday slumped and died while attending a meeting in Government House, Makurdi.

Gwar had gone to Government House to attend the meeting of a forum of the governor’s aides, preparatory to the endorsement of the governor to contest for Senate in 2015. The event of the endorsement is scheduled for Saturday at Katsina-Ala town.

LEADERSHIP Friday gathered that the incident happened about 4 pm when the now deceased aide started feeling uneasy and wanted to take a rest in the waiting room. It was gathered that he started sweating before he finally gave up the ghost.
