Thisday
Foreign
and
Diplomatic
Editor,
Mr. Paul
Ohia, was
found
dead yesterday October 22nd in his official car,
a white Kia Optima along Marine Road, Apapa,
Lagos.
According to eyewitness reports, the deceased
had parked his car for several hours by the side
of the road, which aroused the suspicion of
passersby, prompting them to move closer to
check on him. The eyewitnesses said the
deceased had reclined the driver's seat and lay
on it as if he was sleeping; until they opened the
car doors to find out that he was motionless and
lifeless.
The sympathizers who noticed the Thisday
sticker on the windshield of the car called
Thisday office, informing them of the tragic
incident. Thisday staff and the police moved Mr.
Ohia to Lagoon Hospital in Apapa where he was
confirmed dead.
Although, the hospital said an autopsy would
determine the actual cause of death, the medical
doctor on duty said the deceased might have
died of cardiac arrest. Ohia is survived by a wife
and two children. May his soul rest in
peace...amen. (Thisday)
