Thisday Foreign Editor, Ohia, Found Dead inHis Car

For reasons yet unknown, THISDAY Foreign and Diplomatic
Editor, Mr. Paul Ohia, was yesterday found dead in his
official car, a white Kia Optima along Marine Road, Apapa,
Lagos.

According to eyewitness reports, the deceased had parked
his car for several hours by the side of the road, which
aroused the suspicion of passersby, prompting them to
move closer to check on him. The eyewitnesses said the
deceased had reclined the driver's seat and lay on it as if
he was sleeping; until they opened the car doors to find out
that he was motionless and lifeless.

The sympathisers who noticed the THISDAY sticker on the
windshield of the car, called THISDAY office, informing of
the tragic incident. THISDAY management in turn called the
police from Area B Command, who arrived the spot to meet
THISDAY Editors – Messrs Collins Edomaruse and Olawale
Olaleye. They moved the body to Lagoon Hospital in Apapa
where he was confirmed dead.

Although, the hospital said an autopsy would determine the
actual cause of death, the medical doctor on duty said the
deceased might have died of cardiac arrest.
Until his death, Ohia, was a husband and a father of two
boys, was a core humanist who believed in justice and
equality.

He took life so simple that he believed acquiring property
or pursuing wealth is a sheer waste of time.
