New
information is revealing that Audu’s family members suspect foul play in the
death of the former two-time governor who was seeking a return to the
government house of Kogi.
According
to close family sources, who spoke with The Trent on condition of anonymity,
Audu complained of stomach cramps before going to bed on Saturday night. He
suffered a stroke on Sunday morning at about 9am.
“My
uncle was poisoned, he was poisoned,” the source told our reporter in between
tears. “He shared a meal with a top APC chieftain from the South West (name
withheld) a few days ago. Since then, he has not been himself. His death is
planned. It is all about usurping his position.”
According
to a source inside the Audu Campaign Organisation, Audu suffered another
stroke, shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
declared the result of the election inconclusive. Our source, who didn’t wish
to be named, said that Audu died of a massive heart attack soon after.
Audu
who was 68 years at the time of his death was governor of Kogi twice, January
1992 to November 1993 and May 1999 to May 2003.
He
is survived by wives and children.
He is scheduled to be buried according to Islamic rites at 10am on Monday.
