Okada Man Suffers Epileptic Attack, Slumps In The Middle Of The Road

Mild drama ensued on Monday, at Osia Junction Roundabout, Ughelli, Delta State, when an epileptic commercial motorcycle operator (okada rider) suddenly started convulsing and slumped in the middle of the road.

Witnesses said the Okada man (names withheld) in his early 50s, noticed an impending epileptic crisis.

So he quickly stopped in the middle of the road, told his passenger to step down from the motorcycle and immediately slumped to the ground, convulsing in spasms.

When Vanguard visited the scene at about 9a.m., the victim was still on the ground with passers-by and sympathizers trying to get a glimpse of him.

After he recovered about 10 minutes later, other Okada riders, who later identified him, took him off the road and carried him home.
