The wife of James Ocholi, the Nigerian junior Minister for Labor who
was involved in today's auto crash hours ago alongside his husband and
son, has also been confirmed dead.Mrs. Ocholi, who was evacuated from
the scene of the accident to a local hospital in Doka, Kaduna State,
was confirmed dead a few minutes after arriving at the hospital.
A source at the Kaduna State government told SaharaReporters
correspondent that the death of Mrs. Ocholi brings the casualty number
in the horrific accident to three. Mr. Ocholi,who was traveling on a
private visit to Kaduna in company of his wife and first son, died
when his driver slammed on the brakes of his Lexus SUV car while at
top speed
A source told SaharaReporters that the driver slammed on the brakes
after receiving a radio message from the security car behind the
minister's main vehicle alerting him to a low pressure on one of the
back tires. The driver's panicked reaction precipitated an accident as
the security vehicle then rammed into the minister's vehicle, which
somersaulted several times, instantly killing Mr. Ocholi and his first
son. Mrs. Ocholi was subsequently pronounced dead after she was taken
to a hospital.
A source disclosed that the bodies of Mr. Ocholi and his family were
being transported to a morgue in Abuja.
