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 Defence 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 Fertiliser Company (NAFCON).

Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was Governor of Bayelsa State in
