Oyoms, often referred to as Governor-General Niger Delta, was reportedly found dead by the stairway of his father’s house house in the UAE commercial capital on Saturday, 11th October.
Another version of the story says that he was murdered in a hotel which clearly gave the impression that he might have been assassinated.
The cause of his death has not been revealed at the time of this
report. Details remain sketchy regarding the incident surrounding his
death.
The ex-governor has reportedly traveled to Dubai to ferry the remains of the deceased home.
When asked about the incident, Alamieyeseigha simply said, “he was killed in Dubai.”UPDATE:
A new twist has emerged on the mysterious death of former Governor Diepriye Alameiseigha’s son, Oyoms.
A source has revealed to our correspondent that police in the United Arab Emirate are now flying “a suicide” kite.
They are working on a theory that the deceased might have committed a suicide.
According to the source, the police in Dubai claimed they found
Oyoms’ body found on a street within the city, searched him and found
his identify card.
They reportedly used the identification card to trace his house and
later discovered that he came from “a big family,” the source added.
The policemen later came back to tell members of Alamiesiegha’s
family that the report of an autopsy conducted on the deceased revealed
that he committed suicide.
However, the former governor, who left Nigeria for Dubai on Monday alongside his first son, Tonbra, has reportedly rejected the police suicide theory.
Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who has been in the news for corruption
charges, was elected Governor of Bayelsa State in May 1999 as a member
of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He was re-elected in 2003. Vice President Atiku Abubakar attended the March 2003 event that kicked of his campaign for reelection in 2003.He and members of his family/relations, including his daughters have been charged with money laundering. He also drew even more attention to himself when he jumped bail in December 2005 from the United Kingdom by allegedly disguising himself as a woman, though Alamieyeseigha denies this claim.
On 12 March 2013, Alamieyeseigha was pardoned by President Goodluck Jonathan, but his pardoning was criticised by many.
