Tension heightened on Friday as former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, slumped during the oration at the graveside of the late Maj.Gen David Akpodiete Ejoor, in Ovwor-Olomu community, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.
The former Head of State was promptly rushed by some top echelons of the military into the special tenth for emergency resuscitation just as Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and Chief James Onanefe Ibori, former governor of the Delta State, dashed into the tenth, possibly to offer assistance.
A military, as well as the Delta State ambulances, were immediately moved to the front of the tenth in the event that it was needed.
After a moment of suspense, Ibori and Governor Okowa were seen coming from the special tenth, an indication that Gen Gowon was okay.
