DEAD IN ACTION! How an encounter with Okada killed Kwara Dep. Gov's ADC

Date: 2014-01-12

At about 2.30pm last Wednesday along the busy Iloffa Road,  GRA, Ilorin, Kwara State capital, the scene looked like the daily routine of the police harassment of  commuters and Okada riders  on Nigerian roads,when  policemen, in an overzealous manner, would  shove them out of  the roads to clear the traffic  for quick passage of the convoy of their bosses. Kwara State Deputy Governor, Elder Peter Kisira, was returning from an official function when his  convoy ran into a traffic gridlock while negotiating the bend to enter the busy Iloffa  Road.

The convoy actually came to a halt in the sunny afternoon despite the fuming blast of the siren, a development that prompted the deputy governor’s ADC,  Inspector Gaya Mark, to jump out of one of the vehicles  to  remove a  motorcyclist turning in the middle of the  road to pick a passenger oblivious of the  convoy. Dramatically, as he dragged the Okada rider off the road, he slumped. And before he could be rushed to the Civil Service Clinic, at the end of the road, Gaya had  given up the ghost. The ADC was believed  to have died of cardiac arrest.

Investigation  revealed that there was no exchange of  words not to talk of scuffles between the deceased and the Okada man contrary to speculation.
Gaya,whose father is  a senior police officer based in Abuja,  according to  an account,  had sat for a promotion interview last month and was looking forward to  his cadet  Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP,  rank when the unexpected happened.

Against  the  insinuation that the late ADC might have been hurt by the charm of the motorcyclist, the office of the deputy governor, in a statement on Thursday,  clarified that he died of cardiac arrest.
The deputy governor, Kisira,  in the  statement by his CPS,Timothy Nathaniel, commiserated with the family of  Gaya.

“Mark, 40, is  was survived by a wife and three children and his remains have since been deposited at the mortuary wing of the University of Ilorin, UITH”, a  source said.
Contacted,  Kwara State Police Command spokesman,  ASP Ajayi Okasanmi, confirmed the incident, adding that the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Agboola Glover-Oshodi, had visited the scene of the incident.
