Minister of State for Labour, Chief James Ocholi
On Sunday, a tragic incident took the lives of the Minster of State
for Labour, Chief James Ocholi (SAN), his wife and son in a fatal auto
crash along Abuja-Kaduna highway.
It is believed that Ocholi, 55, and his son, Aaron Enojo, 20, died
instantly while his wife, Blessing Fatima, a Registrar at Salem
University, Sokoto, was said to have died later from injuries sustained
in the crash.
It has been revealed that the wife slipped into coma before she
finally gave up the ghost in the hospital. The late minister and members
of his family were said to be travelling in his Sports Utility Vehicle
when the accident occurred.
Giving explanation how the minister and his family died, Kaduna
State Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Francis
Udoma, said the rear tyre of the SUV burst on top speed and the car
skidded off the road, somersaulting several times into the bush.
Udoma said: “The rear tyre burst and the vehicle somersaulted
into the bush. The minister and his son died on the spot, the wife died
in the government hospital at Doka, Kaduna.
“His driver, the chief detail, the orderly and the P. A. (Personal Assistant) were injured and are receiving treatment.”
