Mrs Shimitte Bello Love, Special Adviser to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Trade and Export, has been confirmed dead.
Details surrounding her death remain unclear at the time of this report, but there are growing suspicions involving her husband, Pastor Love, as a possible suspect.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the death, stating that Shimitte was declared dead at the hospital where she was taken.
According to Edafe, the husband has not been arrested but has been placed in protective custody.
He explained, “We did not arrest the husband. He is currently in protective custody. He was the one who contacted us, saying his wife died early this morning and that he was receiving threats from her family, who believe he may be responsible and are planning to attack him.
“Based on this, we went to his residence and escorted him to safety.
“However, the family came forward this morning to lodge an official complaint, alleging that he was responsible for her death. As a result, we have launched a full investigation.
“In such situations, it is only a post-mortem that can reveal whether her death was natural or caused by foul play.”
The police have assured the public that thorough investigations will be conducted, with an autopsy scheduled to determine the exact cause of Shimitte Love’s death.
