Tragedy struck in the Chikakore area of Byazhin community in the Federal Capital Territory on Friday when a 30-year-old construction worker, Paul Musa, suddenly slumped and died after vomiting blood.

Zagazola Makama learnt that the deceased, a member of the Bojuby ethnic group from Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, was working at a construction site when the incident occurred.

According to eyewitnesses, Musa began vomiting blood from his mouth and nose before collapsing and slipping into unconsciousness.

One Mr. Ayuba Ishaya, a resident of Byazhin village, reported the incident to local authorities after receiving a distress call from a man identified simply as Friday.

Emergency response operatives were immediately mobilised to the scene and rushed the victim to Kubwa General Hospital, where medical personnel confirmed him dead on arrival.

The remains of the deceased have been deposited at the hospital’s mortuary for preservation, while preliminary investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of death.

Police sources said an autopsy may be conducted to rule out any foul play or underlying medical condition.
