on earth and, on Saturday, went to his grave abruptly, apparently with a broken

In October 2014, the man once known as the “governor-general of the Ijaw
nation” flew to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to retrieve the corpse of
Oyamieyifa, one of his sons who died under controversial circumstances. No
father wants to bury his child, and not even under such a cloud.
Tonbra, his other son, broke up with his wife of seven months, Chikodi Stella
Ononiwu, early 2015 in controversial circumstances after a dream wedding
which was the talk of the town. That might have been of little worry to
Alamieyeseigha, who had to also watch his wife, Margret, suffer so much pain
as a result of bad health.
TheCable also understands that she is currently undergoing treatment for a life-
threatening ailment.
And in a most dramatic twist of fate, the British government
recently requested his extradition to face trial for alleged money laundering,
according to reports.
In September 2005, the UK’s Metropolitan police had detained him after finding
about £1 million cash on him, and another £1.8 million in cash and accounts.
He was subsequently charged with money laundering but he jumped bail after
allegedly disguising as a woman, an allegation he denied.
A family source told TheCable about how the former governor received the news
of the plans to extradite him to the UK.
“He was devastated over the plans to take him back to UK for trials. He told
family members that he has suffered enough of the judicial processes and
humiliation,” the source said.
A few days later, he fell into a coma. He never recovered. He died on Saturday
from cardiac arrest at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, the
Bayelsa state government said.
