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.

 

Based on eyewitness reports, the deceased had parked his car for many hours by the side of the trail, which aroused the suspicion of passersby, prompting them to maneuver closer to confirm him. The eyewitnesses said the deceased had reclined the driver's seat and lay about it as though he was sleeping; until they opened the car doors to learn 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, a healthcare facility said an autopsy would determine the particular 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.
