How Alamieyeseigha’s Son was Killed in his House in Dubai

This is one death too many. Why are Nigerians
being killed with impunity in Dubai?
Tragedy struck the former governor of Bayelsa
State, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, on
Sunday, when one of his sons, Oyamiefa, was
murdered in Dubai where he was a student.
The 30yrs old late Oyamiefa, who was reportedly
killed in the house belonging to his father in the
Arab country, was said to be the only person
living in the luxury apartment. The deceased
was the last but one of the former governor's
children.
It was gathered that he was murdered by
unknown gunmen who stormed his apartment
on Sunday night. Some impeccable family
sources disclosed that his lifeless body was
recovered by neighbours.
It was gathered that the former governor was
informed about the tragic development early
Monday morning and he promptly departed
for Dubai.
Alamieyeseigha was in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa
State capital, preparing for his investiture as
patron of the Nigerian Institute of Public
Relations (NIPR) on Thursday to launder his
image for 2015 before the tragic occurrence
forced him to abandon the event.
The event had been packaged to launder the
image of the former governor after he received
state pardon from President Goodluck Jonathan
following his conviction for corruption during the
Olusegun Obasanjo administration. Prior to his
conviction, he had staged a dramatic escape
from the UK where he was under house arrest
and undergoing investigation for fraud.
Alamieyeseigha's son's death is the latest in the
long list Nigerian students killed abroad.
My Son Didn't Commit Suicide; He was Killed
– Alamieyeseigha
The former Bayelsa governor has debunked the
claim by Dubai police that his son committed
suicide.
LEADERSHIP gathered that Oyemifa's body had
been found in a street by the police who
searched him and found his identify card. Using
the identification card, the police were said to
have traced his home only to discover that he
came from "a big family".
It was gathered that shortly after ascertaining
the background of the deceased, the policemen
left but later came back to tell his family
members in Dubai that Oyemifa had committed
suicide.
The policemen were said to have based their
claims on an autopsy they said was conducted
on the body.
Alameiseigha, who was said to have taken the
incident heavily, was said to have rejected the
policemen's claims. When contacted through a
text message by our correspondent, the
aggrieved former governor said: "He was killed
in Dubai."
