NATIONAL Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, was, on Tuesday, rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of the National Hospital, Abuja, following a heavy fall from the chair on which he was sitting.

The incident occurred as the national chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, was about to inaugurate caretaker committees of Borno and Kebbi state chapters of the party, inside the National Working Committee (NWC) hall.

As Metuh came in to assume his seat, the swivel chair collapsed under him, aggravating the injury he had sustained on his back.

The party spokesman had, days earlier, complained to reporters about his sore back.

After the fall, Metuh appeared unable to rise to his feet on his own strength and had to be helped up by policemen who stood behind him.

He was consequently taken to hospital for treatment.
