The Bayelsa State Government has expressed shock over the sudden demise of the son of the first civilian governor of the state, Mr Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, Oyoms Alamieyeseigha, in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.
Describing his death as a devastating blow, the government, in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said that the deceased would not only be missed by his immediate family, but the entire state as a whole.
They called on the security operatives in Dubai to unravel the mystery surrounding the death, especially as there are conflicting reports over the manner in which he died.
The statement stated that this would afford the nation an opportunity to justify the confidence reposed in the security agents.
The statement also prayed God to grant the father, who has contributed immensely to the growth of his fatherland and members of the Alamieyeseigha family the strength and fortitude to bear the loss.
