The management of National Hospital Abuja have confirmed the death of the former Chief Security Officer to ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan, Godwin Obuah.

Obuah reportedly suffered a “massive heart attack”.

The spokesperson for the hospital, Dr. Tayo Haastrup, said he died in the Accident and Emergency Department of the Hospital.

“I can confirm the you that the man died yesterday (Thursday); his corpse is in the morgue. He was brought to National Hospital but died about 4:00 pm.

“He died in the Accident and Emergency Department because he couldn’t survive the attack. In essence, he died the same day he was brought to the Hospital,” Haastrup said.

Obuah was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS), two months after Jonathan left power and detained at the headquarters of the agency.
