He died last night after complaining of a heartache and was being rushed to the Kade government hospital, the wife of the deceased disclosed.

Narrating the incident, the deceased wife said: “Yesterday after supper he was outside taking a rest and all of a sudden he complained that he was feeling uneasy so i suggested he takes his drugs because he was hypertensive. But after taking his drugs the uneasiness still persisted so we decided to take him to the hospital. It was on his way to the hospital that he passed on.”
