Samson had earlier expressed feeling unwell to a colleague named Oharisi and had requested some time to rest.

Concerned about his weakened condition, Samson was advised to take a break inside his parked truck at the agro sack area of the Ibese factory.

As minutes passed without Samson’s return, apprehension among his colleagues grew, prompting them to dispatch another colleague to check on him.

The driver was discovered unconscious inside the cabin of his truck.

Upon making the discovery, the colleagues promptly alerted others and rushed Samson to Jaji Clinic, Dangote Ibese, where medical staff pronounced him dead.
