He said: “We were suppose to do the thanksgiving the same Sunday he died but he (Ocholi) said the President required his presence in Abuja on Friday and that he would be going on an assignment from the President that weekend. “He asked us to postpone the celebration till this week Sunday. If only he knew he won’t be available for the thanksgiving."
Jonah, 56, said: “His death is not natural; we are certain about that. Messages have been on around the village that such evil will happen. It was after his death that we realised that it was against our family such prediction was going to happen. “His death is a great loss to the entire family. He was the breadwinner to all; both nuclear and extended family members because he did not discriminate. He followed the footsteps of his father who shouldered the responsibility of the extended family after the death of his father (Ocholi’s grandfather).”Also speaking at his palace, the traditional ruler of the community, the Onu of Abocho, HRH Tijani Okutachi, said the community was still in shock at his death, describing it as unfortunate.
He said: “He participated in all the activities at home. His demise has brought serious set back to the community, the local government area and the state. He was a community leader, who was so interested in the development of the community. This is a disaster to the entire community.”
Okutachi, however, urged the people to discountenance the issue that his death was not natural. According to him, everything that happens is an act of God.

Meanwhile, family
members of the late minister have described as mysterious and not
ordinary, the death of their brother.
The family members, who spoke with Vanguard at his ancestral hometown,
Ugbanebiomi, and his residential home at Abocho, both in Dekina Local
Government Area of the state, said his death was not natural and would
not be accepted as an ‘act of God.’
A nephew to the late minister, Mr. Jonah Paul, who spoke at his
ancestral hometown at Ugbanebiomi, said arrangement was already
concluded for next Sunday to have a thanksgiving service for his
appointment as minister when he died.
He said: “We were suppose to do the thanksgiving the same Sunday he
died but he (Ocholi) said the President required his presence in Abuja
on Friday and that he would be going on an assignment from the President
that weekend.
“He asked us to postpone the celebration till this week Sunday. If only
he knew he won’t be available for the thanksgiving.”
