Special Adviser to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Trade and Export, Mrs Shimitte Love, has been confirmed dead.

Though the circumstances leading to her death are hazy at the time of filing this report, there are fingers pointing to her husband, Pastor Love, as being behind Shimitte’s death.

When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed Shimitte’s death, adding that she was confirmed dead at a hospital she was taken to.

He said her husband was not arrested but taken into protective custody.

The police spokesperson said an autopsy is to be conducted to ascertain what led to Shimitte’s demise.

He said, “We didn’t arrest her husband. He is in protective custody.

“The husband was the one who called to say that his wife died early this morning, that he is receiving threats from the wife’s family and that there is fear that they want to attack him.

“It was based on that ground that we went to his house and got him out.

“However, the family came this morning to lodge an official complaint against the husband that they suspect that it was the husband that killed her. So, on that ground, we are still investigating.

“In cases like this, it is only an autopsy that will determine whether it was natural or if there was something else.”
