Bayelsa Deputy Governor Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo Collapses, Rushed To Hospital

Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after collapsing at the Government House in Yenagoa.

The exact cause of his collapse is still unclear, but sources described the situation as serious. He was reportedly taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, for urgent medical attention.

Efforts to confirm the incident directly with the hospital were unsuccessful, as the Public Relations Officer, Ben Akpedi, did not respond to calls.

Ewhrudjakpo’s media aide, Doubara Atasi, confirmed the development but declined to provide further details, responding only with “Yes” before ending the call.
