More details of the last moments of Chief Mathias Ekweremadu who until his shocking death, Thursday afternoon, the Enugu State Commissioner of Transport has emerged.
Daily Tracker gathered that Ekweremadu was said to be holding meeting with the House of Assembly Committee on Transport, led by its chairman, Hillary Ugwu (Enugu East Rural).
According to a source at the Assembly Complex, midway into the meeting, Ekweremadu whose sitting position was facing the AC vent, complained that he was not usually comfortable seating close to the AC.
“Gentlemen, you know one is not getting any younger. We the elderly ones don’t usually feel good sitting close to the AC,” he reportedly noted.
The source further disclosed that it was at that moment that the chairman of the Committee ordered that he should be given another seat away from AC.
“Immediately he changed his seat, he thanked the committee especially the person that brought the seat,” the source noted.
“Thank you, thank you,” Ekweremadu muttered in what became his last words before he slumped.
He was eventually rushed to the Niger Foundation hospital where doctors confirmed him dead on arrival.
Prior to his appointment as a Commissioner in 2019, Ekweremadu, represented Aninri state Constituency at the State House of Assembly.
He was also the Chairman of Aninri local government on different occasions.
