Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, died on Saturday at the age of 62.
It was learnt that he died of a high blood pressure.
Alamieyeseigha, who died around 4pm, was
earlier rushed to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital
from his residence in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday.
A source told SUNDAY PUNCH that the governor stayed briefly in Yenagoa last week before he went to Port Harcourt where his health condition worsened.
It was learnt that the ex-governor later
slipped into a coma and had been on life support for two days until his
death on Saturday.
His remains, according to a source at the UPTH, were later moved to the mortuary in the hospital.
