Pensioner slumps, dies during payment screening in Edo State.

Yesterday, Sunday Oboite, collapsed and died while waiting on queue for screening at the Oredo local government council, Benin, which is said to be owing the pensioners 9 months pension arrears. When Oboite collapsed, other pensioners were said to have scampered in different directions. Efforts by the few male pensioners and council officials who mustered boldness to assist him failed as he died on the spot.
