Delta State Mourns, As Adviser’s Death Sparks Investigation

Chief Love Shimite, who served as the Special Adviser on Trade and Export to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, has sadly passed away.

She reportedly died in the early hours of Easter Monday after a short illness, though the exact details of her death are still unclear at this time.

The Delta State Police Command’s spokesperson, Mr. Bright Edafe, confirmed her passing, stating that she was pronounced dead at the hospital where she was taken.

Edafe also mentioned that Shimite’s husband is currently under protective custody—not under arrest—after he reported her death and claimed he was being threatened by members of her family. According to him, the husband contacted authorities early in the morning, fearing for his safety due to accusations from Shimite’s relatives.

Following this, Shimite’s family filed an official complaint with the police, expressing concerns that her husband may have been involved in her death.

The police are now investigating the case, with Edafe noting that only an autopsy will be able to determine the actual cause of death.

Authorities say more information will be shared as the investigation continues.
