Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh (1919-1966) was minister of financeduring the administration of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. Born to Urhobo parents from Uwherun, he adopted Itsekiri as his tribe after marriage into an Itsekiri family. He was a national Treasurer of the Nigerian first republic party NCNC. He was also a leader of the federal parliamentary party NCNC, replacing K.O Mbadiwe.
Okotie-Eboh was assassinated along with Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa, in the January 15, 1966 military coup which terminated the Nigerian First Republic and thus civilian rule.

Notice anything remarkable or fascinating in the pictures?

Given his history, the pictures, and his assassination in 1966, it is not hard to deduce that he is now sleeping in the ground to be resurrected and sent to hell fire after judgment.
His wife looks like she is so calm, but what's being calm and good if you cannot influence your husband to change his ways if corruption and display of pompousness? This means she was just disguising. A partaker of the stolen wealth.
Look at him in the picture with that boy who has the cape wrapped around his neck. So pompous. Sadly, but deservingly, it seems as though death caught up to him before he had the time to repent and live behind good records.
Got what he deserved.
Unapologetic with the truth.

These where the types of men who were neck deep in the occult back in those days.
Ogboni Society and the likes of it.
But that too couldn't save him from a violent death.

Big-manism those days that led many of then to sell their souls over to the devil.
Justice was served. You don't know if he had sacrificed several kids to advance his political interests back then. tongue

Edited: I can see people are now here viewing... LoL...E no matter.
