Former Bayelsa Governor, Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha is dead, a source in Bayelsa State confirmed to Pointblanknews.com. Alamieyeseigha died today at a private hospital in Port Harcourt, Rivers State where he was said to have been rushed after suffering a cardiac arrest earlier in the week. Sources told Pointblanknews.com that the former Bayelsa Governor was devastated after hearing the news of his possible extradition to the United Kingdom, U.K for trail. Britain had requested for the extradition of the former governor to London to answer an outstanding case in the UK on money laundering. The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption, Professor Itse Sagay, was quoted to have said that the President Buhari-led government is prepared to assent to the request of the British Government as the United Kingdom has every legal right to demand for the extradition of the former Bayelsa State Governor. “The UK is in principle correct to be making such a request based on the fact that the crime was committed on the British soil. However, when there is delay in trial as a result of time, there may be consideration on legal grounds so that the trial is not seen as oppressive,” he said. (“DSP”) as he was popular called by friends was (born 16 November 1952) was governor of Bayelsa State in Nigeria from 29 May 1999 to 9 December 2005.

Shameless people! Imagine the rubbish!

We'll all die someday, it's something that will remain forever and it remains irrevocable. Either you're a politician or billionaire..we all should remember that one day, we'll die and leave whatever money and property we have (legitimately or dubiously).

RIP sir, at least you've left the struggles of this world and gone to face whatever judgment the creator has for you.

Just spoke to a family source about 5mins ago, and he said Alams is on life support.
To me that's good as dead.
