MR Lucky Okey, a Police Inspector attached to Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo passed away early this morning after going through horrifying brain damage arising from his accident from the Governor’s convoy in February this year.
It was gathered that Mr Lucky fell and heat his head on a tarred road from a moving police van attached to the Governor’s office on official duty in the presence of the Governor and was immediately rushed to Amaku Teaching Hospital in the state capital.
Eyes witness account told our Correspondent that against medical advice that the officer should be flown abroad for medical treatment, the Commissioner for Health Dr. Afam Obidike, instead assembled two or three doctors who compounded Mr Lucky’s brain condition until he died this morning without proper care and medication to save cost of treating him abroad.
“It is unfortunate that Governor Soludo and his Commissioner for Health, Dr. Obidike who should be responsible in giving care to our brother contributed to his untimely death.
“After the shabby brain surgery carried out on my brother since he had the accident sometimes in February this year, we have been borrowing money to buy drugs for him on a weekly basis that have ran into millions of Naira.
“Sometimes his colleagues contribute money for his wife and only child for food since the salary is not enough and the Government has been owing him over three months allowances.
“We are confused at the moment because Lucky is the breadwinner of the family. Who will take care of his wife and the child now.
“My brother died a painful death because each time his drugs are exhausted you will observe he will be eating up his tongue by himself, the brother who simply gives his name as Marshall lamented.
