Former
Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, is dead. Chief Alamieyeseigha reportedly died of cardiac arrest at the
University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, after slipping into coma two
days ago and was placed on life support. The Bayelsa State Commissioner for
Information, Esueme Dan-Kikili, who confirmed the death to Channels
Television, said that the death of the former governor was a great
loss to the Ijaw ethnic group. There were reports during the week that the
British Government was determined to resurrect an outstanding case of money
laundering against the former governor and had requested for his extradition to
London. Alamieyeseigha, who was facing
money laundering charges, jumped bail and returned to Nigeria and has since
then refused to answer summons for trial to continue. According to his
Wikipedia page, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was born on November 16, 1952 in
Amassoma, Ogboin North Local Government Area, Bayelsa State and had his
secondary school education at the Bishop Dimeari Grammar School, Yenagoa. He
joined the Nigerian Defense Academy as a Cadet Officer in 1974, and was
enlisted in the Nigerian Air Force, where he served in the department of
Logistics and Supply. Before retiring from the Air Force in 1992 as a Squadron
Leader, he had served in Enugu, Markurdi, Kaduna and Ikeja. He became
the Sole Administrator of Pabod Supplies Port Harcourt and later Head of
Budget, Planning, Research and Development of the National Fertilizer Company
(NAFCON). Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was Governor of Bayelsa State in Nigeria from
May 29, 1999 to December 9, 2005. He was impeached on allegations of
corruption.
Has laoreet percipitur ad. Vide interesset in mei, no his legimus verterem. Et nostrum imperdiet appellantur usu, mnesarchum referrentur id vim.
