“Preliminary investigation revealed he was stabbed on the chest with a sharp object.
“His corpse has been deposited at FMC Yenagoa for autopsy and investigation is ongoing,” Mr. Butswat told NAN.

They reportedly gained access to his apartment after pulling down the burglary proof attached to the door.
Sound of gunshots from the deceased house attracted neighbours who alerted the police.
The former PDP chieftain was later found dead in a pool of his own blood by the times police arrived the scene in the morning.
Mr. Hobobo’s uncle said the family was in grief and he was not in a position to comment.
“We are in grief; we are still in shock. I am short of words, please let me be for now,” he pleaded.
