Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has dismissed his Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties, Eruteyan Ejiro Eradajaye, following accusations linking him to the murder of Sam Ophie, a sand dealer in the Adagbrassa-Ugolo community.
Eradajaye, who also serves as the community’s chairman, was implicated after a confrontation with Ophie at a local sand beach escalated into violence.
Reports indicate that Eradajaye’s loyalists allegedly assaulted and fatally stabbed Ophie during the altercation.
In an official statement released on Thursday, Dr. Kingsley Emu, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), confirmed the immediate termination of Eradajaye’s appointment.
The statement further cautioned the public against engaging in any official matters with the former aide, emphasizing that he no longer represents the Delta State Government.
The statement reads: “The Delta State Government has announced the termination of the appointment of Mr. Eruteyan Ejiro Eradajaye, Senior Special Assistant to the governor on special duties, with immediate effect.
Members of the public are warned to desist from having any dealings with him as a government appointee.”
Eradajaye’s dismissal comes amid growing tensions in the community as investigations into the tragic incident continue.
