The story of a sudden demise of Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, a former governor of Bayelsa state, currently has many unclear circumstances.
Esueme Dan-Kikili, the Bayelsa state commissioner for information, confirmed that the ex-governor died of cardiac arrest at a Port Harcourt hospital on Saturday, October 10. The 62-year-old politician has been in coma for the last two days of his life.
Nigerians were divided by the news. Some mourned the late governor and tagged his death as a ‘great loss to Bayelsa’. See tweets below.
I feel so sad for Diepreye Alamieyeseigha. Apparently, he couldn’t seek medical attention outside Nigeria for the fear of being caught.

But if truly Diepreye Alamieyeseigha is dead, may his soul RIP. I hope the Nigerian Government and her allies are able to trace his loot.
