This was announced by Mr. Aniekeme Finbarr, the Special Assistant to the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Media, last Saturday on Facebook.

JUST IN: Navy Captain Joseph Adeduro Adeusi (Rtd) is dead. He was Military Governor of Akwa Ibom State from August 1996 to August 1998.

Died this morning.

A minute silence was observed in his honour at the Government House Prayer Meeting Saturday.

His soul rest in peace!

Here’s a brief profile:

He was Military Governor of Akwa Ibom State from August 1996 to August 1998.

As administrator, Adeusi founded the Akwa United Football Club, which played their inaugural match against the Rangers International F.C of Enugu in December 1996. He initiated a probe into the government of Uyo Local Government Area, which was headed by John James Akpanudoedehe, who later became Senator.

In January 1998 he had to deal with protests over an oil spill from a Mobil pipeline. He spent over nine hours negotiating with several thousand demonstrators, eventually agreeing to establish a claims office in Eket. Over 300 of the demonstrators were later detained.

Died at the age of 76years.

May your holy soul rest in the bossom of your creator, Amen.
May your loved ones be strong to bear your loss.
Take heart Oyo indigens.
Take heart Akwaibomites

Unfortunately, statesmen who should help us renew the face of Nigeria are just going home each day. Should this continue, know you that the end may be near.

This days they no longer negotiate with protesters they rather shot at them. Rip former govr.
