Amaechi’s CSO electrocuted in Kaduna

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has lost his Chief Security Officer, Mr Tony Iwelu, to electrocution.

Iwelu, according to a statement by the Head, Press and Public Relations in the ministry, Mr Eric Ojiekwe, died on Monday in Kaduna when he was electrocuted by a shower rose at the Stone Edge Hotel, Kaduna, where they were lodged after an official assignment.

Until his death, Iwelu was in charge of all issues relating to the minister’s security.
