BREAKING: Nigerian Senator Ibrahim Musa Kontagora D1es After Abuja Hospital Denies Surgery Over $15,000 Bill

In a devastating turn of events that’s igniting outrage across the nation, Senator Ibrahim Musa Kontagora has sadly passed away after a private hospital in Abuja allegedly refused to perform a crucial surgery due to his inability to pay a $15,000 (around ₦23 million) medical bill upfront.

The former senator was in dire need of a life-saving operation, but reports indicate that the medical team wouldn’t move forward without full payment — even in his critical state. Just moments later, he was pronounced dead.

This heartbreaking incident has reignited a national conversation about:

The failing state of Nigeria’s healthcare system, the ruthless commercialization of essential medical care

The growing divide between the political elite and the struggling masses

Despite being a former senator, Kontagora became yet another casualty of a system that views healthcare as a luxury rather than a fundamental right.

Critics are demanding immediate reform and asking:
“If a senator can be left to die over a bill, what hope do ordinary Nigerians have?”

Nigerians deserve answers; they deserve better.
They deserve a healthcare system that prioritizes life over profit.

L-PRES warns of public health risks from unhygienic abattoirs in Taraba

The Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support, L-PRES, Project has expressed concern over the growing public health risks posed by unhygienic slaughterhouses and inadequate meat inspection practices across Taraba State.

Speaking on Tuesday in Jalingo during a capacity-building workshop for meat inspectors and abattoir managers, the State Coordinator of the World Bank-supported project, Hananiah Albert, emphasized the urgent need to uphold hygiene standards in the meat processing chain to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases.

“The safety and quality of the meat we consume depend heavily on what happens before, during, and after slaughter.

“This is why meat inspection must be taken seriously, and abattoirs properly managed in line with national and international best practices to curb diseases such as tuberculosis, anthrax, and brucellosis”, Albert said.

He stressed that meat inspection and abattoir management were not merely technical tasks but essential pillars of food safety, disease control, and public health protection.

Albert lauded the Taraba State Government’s ongoing livestock reforms and explained that the training was designed to equip participants with standardized hygiene protocols and modern techniques for safer meat handling and processing.

“This training is a deliberate effort to empower frontline meat inspectors, veterinary officers, and abattoir workers with up-to-date knowledge to ensure uniformity, efficiency, and safety across abattoirs,” he stated.

Also speaking, the State Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Professor Nicholas Namessan, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to food safety and livestock development.

He noted that meat is one of the most widely consumed animal products in the state and that growing demand comes with added responsibilities.

“With our growing population and increasing urbanization, meat consumption is on the rise. But this also means we have a greater responsibility to ensure that what our people consume is hygienic, wholesome, and disease-free,” he said

Namessan urged participants to take the training seriously, describing them as key actors in promoting safe livestock consumption and public health.

He also reiterated the state government’s determination to expand the livestock value chain and strengthen its collaboration with L-PRES.

The exercise, which took place at Galaxy Spot, brought together meat inspectors and abattoir managers from all 16 local government areas of the state.
