Ovie Success Ossai, one of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s aides, made the announcement on his Facebook page on Monday morning.“

“We just lost Ughelli North PDP Chairman, Hon. Lawrence Agbatutu. May his soul RIP,” he quipped.

Recall, two members of the Delta State House of Assembly from both Isoko North and South also died early this year.
