The Bayelsa State Police Command is
investigating events surrounding the death of an All Progressive Congress (APC)
chieftain, Nasko Egei, at the Aridolf Wellness Resort and Spa located along
Isaac Boro Express road, Yenagoa.
Egei from
Amassoma community in Southern Ijaw local government area of Bayelsa state and
father of two was a former Senior Special Assistant to Governor Henry Seriake
Dickson before his defection to the APC shortly before the 2015 governorship
elections.
His dead
body with blood flowing from his mouth and ears was said to have been
discovered on Friday by the hotel management when the door to his room was
forced open.
Investigations
revealed that the family might ordered an autopsy following conflicting reports
over the cause of his death.
While a
report said the deceased could have died of complication of high blood
pressure, another report from sources close to the deceased said he might have
poisoned by a female companion that went with him to the hotel.
A kinsman of
the deceased who do not want his name in print said the death of Nasko was
curious and challenged the hotel management and the Police to unravel what led
to his death.
According to
him a big hotel like Aridolf should have a Close Circuit Television (CCTV) to
unravel the lady that the deceased was with him when he died.
“The hotel sure has questions to answer. A hotel as big as Aridolf cannot claim not to have a CCTV. So, the hotel will do a whole lot of good to unravel what happened. Therefore, we implore the security agencies, particularly the police to swing into action to investigate this sad incident. The hotel should be made to provide the identity of the lady that went with him to the hotel. If the identity can’t be gotten, the hotel should be able to play its CCTV to know the female guest with Nasko. As kinsmen, we will not allow the matter to be swept under the carpet. We are sad about this incident”

Friends and relatives that have taken to the Facebook to
