“The governor totally condemns the shoddy handling of the gentleman, who was clearly going through a hard time,” Rafiu Ajakaye, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, said in a statement last night.
“He (governor) has directed that the driver be fired immediately. As the investigation revealed, the driver failed to heed clear directive not to take any action until the Rapid Response Team (RRT) arrived the scene. He evacuated the gentleman with the help of members of the public without waiting for the arrival of the RRT.”
