The National Union Of Pensioners (NUP) Chairman, Chief Gideon Ezeji is dead. According to The news reached our desk this morning, he died last night.
Though the cause of his death has not yet been revealed, but it was alleged that he died holding his 3 months bounced cheque given to him and other pensioners in the state by the governor.
There has been an increase in mortality rate, hunger and sickness among pensioners in Imo State owing to the non-payment of their pensions and gratuities spanning between eight and 20 months but the recent payment of 3 months of their pension (since august) which up till today hasn’t been cashed is definitely causing more deaths..
