Although the reason Chief Oshevire was murdered by the assassins has not been given, family members said, “we were with him from 8pm to 10:30pm that same day, before he said he wanted to go to bed in his separate apartment within the compound and we equally locked our doors.”
“when we wake-up in the morning at 7am, we thought that papa was still sleeping, then, as at 8am, we had not heard from him. l made up my mind to go and check whether he was still in bed, but as l reached there, l found out that the door that leads to his apartment was half opened, thinking that he had already woken up, and I called him several times without response. l,therefore, entered the apartment, and saw him on the ground lifeless with wounds all over his head and as at then, blood was still coming out from his nose”
” I shouted and neighbors rushed in. We called on Kokori vigilante group who quickly arrived and alerted the police in Isiokolo Division who later took the dead body to Erhoike hospital Mortuary, and as l am speaking with you now, nobody knows the reason why these unknown assassins murdered him”.
The Delta State Acting Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Andrew Aniamaka confirmed the report, saying, “The Police have launched investigations to unravel the cause of death of the late Chief Gilbert Oshevire while his remains has been deposited in a mortuary.”
