Akpabio ‘Hospitalized In London’ As Trending Video Suggests He’s Critically Ill
The President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has reportedly been hospitalized in a London clinic over undisclosed illness.
The development was made known on Thursday by former presidential spokesman, Jackson Ude, in a post on his official X handle.
Akpabio was returning from Geneva after attending a Parliamentary event, but had to make a detour to London for a medical emergency.
He said: “Senate President Godswill Akpabio is receiving treatment in a London Hospital in what sources described as an emergency medical situation.
“Akpabio was on his way back from Geneva where he had attended a Parliamentary event but had to make a detour to London for a medical emergency, multiple sources within his office and outside his office confirmed.”
The unconfirmed report is corroborated by treading video where Akpabio was seen with an unusual black walking-stick for his mobility. Besides, the Senate President was also seen being guided and supported to close aides to walk.
As at the time of filing this report, no statement has been released either by the Nigerian Senate or the media aide to the Senate President.
