Yakubu Gowon Slumps During David Ejoor's Burial Ceremony In Delta State 3

Gen. Yakubu Gowon, a former Military Head of State, on Friday slumped during the funeral of David Akpodiete Ejoor, former Chief of Army Staff, in Delta State.

Gowon collapsed during the oration at the graveside of late Ejoor in Ovwor-Olomu Community, Ughelli South Local Government Area of the state.

Military personnel, however, made fruitless efforts to bar visual coverage of the ugly incident.

He was promptly rushed by military officials to a special tent for emergency resuscitation.

Ifeanyi Okowa, Governor of the state, and James Ibori, former Governor of the state, were some of the concerned faces in the tent while the resuscitation went on.

Military and Delta State ambulances were immediately stationed in front of the tent should they be needed to relocate the elderstatesman to the hospital.

According to NAN, Ibori and Okowa were later seen exiting the special tent, an indication that the former army general had recovered.
