SA to Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, In Murder Allegation

Eruteyan Eradajaye, a Special Adviser (SA) to Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, is currently facing serious allegations of involvement in a murder case.

According to credible sources, Eradajaye, who also serves as the Chairman of a local community in the oil-producing state, had a confrontation with Sam Ophie Akemu at a community sand beach.

Eradajaye reportedly demanded two trips of sand daily as the new Chairman, but Akemu, a sand dealer, offered him only one trip per day.

Displeased with the offer, Eradajaye allegedly insisted on receiving more, citing his position as the governor’s Special Adviser.

The disagreement escalated, and Eradajaye, along with his men, allegedly began to beat Akemu.

According to witnesses, the confrontation turned violent, leading to Akemu being fatally stabbed.

A source revealed that the attack on Akemu was led by Eradajaye, with the involvement of others, including Tive Oneya, Shadrack Obukohwo, Cross Idonor, Mudiaga Uduaran Gowon, and Igho Udugba.

Mr. Lucky Akpobome was also named as one of the attackers, allegedly stealing Akemu’s phones and ATM cards during the assault.

The incident has been reported to the police at Orerokpe, headquarters of Okpe Local Government Area and investigations are ongoing.
