Previous Governor to be buried April 9

Alamieyeseigha will be covered in his country home in the Amassoma territory of the state.

The  burial arrangements were declared by the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah.

“There will be a Youth/Student Activities in Yenagoa the Bayelsa state capital; public lecture on Federalism and Development in Nigeria, by Prof. G.G Darah at the Banquet Hall, Yenagoa; Night of Songs and Tributes at the Gabriel Okara Cultural Centre, Yenagoa,” Jonah, also the Chairman of the Central Burial Committee, said.

“On Friday, April 8, there will be a Valedictory State Executive Council Session, at the Banquet Hall, Yenagoa and Wake-keep at his country home in Amassoma,” he added.

Jonah said further that the internment function will be finished up with a Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, April 10, at St Peters Anglican Church in Yenagoa, the state capital.

Alamieyeseigha died on Saturday, October 10, 2015, after allegedly slipping into a coma on Thursday, 8.

Debate has trailed the  former governor’s death with numerous asserting it was organized so he could abstain from being extradited to the United Kingdom on  money laundering charges.
