Nigerians Still Uncertain About Alamieyeseigha's Death
Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha
This might be as a result of the escapades of the
62-year-old politician who has been at the fore front of various
controversies in the fight against corruption in Nigeria.
Going through online news pages, some of the comments you can readily find under the story of Alamieyeseigha’s death are: ‘Alams is not dead. Stop the lies‘, ‘we cannot be fooled again, it’s all a lie’, ‘hmmn..if he can disguise as a woman to escape justice, he can also fake his death to escape justice this time’….
All these and many more are some of the things a keen observer would get to find all over the news space about his death.
Well, these views are not unconnected to the character of the ‘late’ politician. Nigerians truly do not forget occurrences easily, not even if time has overshadowed it, history still has a way of making everything look quite new.
Ten years ago, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was detained in London on charges of money laundering in September 2005. At the time of his arrest, Metropolitan police found about £1m in cash in his London home. Later they found a total of £1.8m ($3.2m) in cash and bank accounts. He was found to own real estate in London worth an alleged £10 million.
Alamieyeseigha however jumped bail in December 2005 from the United Kingdom by allegedly disguising himself as a woman, although he denied it.
Fast-forward to 10 years later, the British Government announced the continuity of the politician’s abandoned trial in London and the news of his death came just simultaneously!
His death also came exactly a year after his son got murdered in Dubai. The speculation that his death might have been fake was also corroborated by various reports that pointed at cardiac arrest as the cause of his death while Alamieyeseigha’s brother claimed he died due to Acute Renal Failure. This has left many to believe whatever.
80% of Nigerians don't believe Diepreye Alamieyeseigha is dead. What a world...
People no wan believe say Alams don die. Them say na arrange death just like him arrange turn to woman run come naija.
@MrAbuSidiq Imagine how bad the situation is. People doubting the death of a former state govfor character related reasons. Na waooo
When U realise dat Alams allegedlly escaped d UK as a woman, you're forced to think deeply about his rumoured death. Alams RIP if u're dead.
First time UK made noise, Alams became a woman. They hve made noise again and he has turned up 'dead' Can we try for a 3rd? Return of Tupac?
#Alamieyeseigha, if u're really dead, may God have mercy on ur soul. If u're not, then I hope the plastic surgeon is a fucking magician!
All these and more are some of the comments that get any onlooker thinking if truly the politician is dead. No photo of his dead body has been released aside from the photos showing him a few days before his ‘death’ and also photos of his tomb in Massoma, which he bought before his alleged death.
In the last interview he had before the news of his death, the fugitive ex-governor who was pardoned by former president Jonathan is said to have asked rhetorically why he is still alive. He also spoke about former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan in the interview.
