The Federal Government has promised to
investigate how the driver of the Sport Utility Vehicle, in which the
Minister of State for Labour, Mr. James Ocholi (SAN); his wife,
Blessing; and son, Joshua, died along the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway on
Sunday, was employed.
The Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige,
stated this on Monday while responding to the call by the relatives of
the deceased, including Ocholi’s uncle, Abdallah Aliu; another relative,
Paul Audu; and the immediate younger sister to the late Blessing, who
did not want her name mentioned, that the driver be investigated.
“The acting Permanent Secretary is here,
she is the one in charge of human resources. We will find out and
investigate it. We will do, but I can tell you that our personal drivers
are known to us and we both keep our personal drivers. We will find out
and investigate this,” Ngige said.
The Ocholi family is working on some theories concerning the accident.
The family members believed that the
driver of a car that somersaulted several times would ordinarily be
unconscious and would not take photographs of the deceased and upload
them on social media.
They also contended that the driver and
the orderly should have cordoned off the place and evacuated the corpses
as this had been the tradition whenever a VIP was involved in an
accident.
