The source said Mr. Douglas died from cancer-related complications.

Mr. Douglas came to national and international prominence as an environmental activist on behalf of the oil-producing communities of the Niger Delta. A lawyer by profession, the deceased was born in 1966.

Mr. Douglas had been sick for several years. Even so, associates of President Jonathan said he continued to work over the last few weeks for Mr. Jonathan’s reelection, with one source saying he was devastated when his principal lost the presidential polls.

Mr. Douglas is survived by a wife and children.

Why do people close to the Jonathan family loose their life too easily.. Anyone wondered why?

So sad that he can not even imagine himself and his party be in opposition and so decided to do the honourable thing by taking his life.
