According to report by Leadership Newspaper, Abdulsalami Ginsau, Esq, died after being trapped inside an elevator at a hotel in Abuja.
An eyewitness account said the incident occurred on Tuesday, under circumstances that are still unclear.
The report indicated that the deceased was stuck in the lift for a prolonged period, leading to his death, suspected to be from suffocation.
Reacting to the development, former lawmaker, Shehu Sani, described the incident as pathetic.
In a post on his verified Facebook account, Sani said: “The case of Barrister Abdulsalami Ginsau is pathetic. He was reportedly trapped in an Abuja hotel lift and he suffocated to death. Could it be that power supplying the lift ceased? Could it be that the lift has technical issues? Could it be that it’s just a tragedy of fate? May Allah grant him Aljanna Firdausi. Amin.”
