Former Edo Information Commissioner, Charles Idahosa Is dead
A former Commissioner for Information and Orientation in Edo State, Charles Idahosa, is dead.
Idahosa reportedly died in his sleep on Saturday afternoon.
The late former commissioner, who was popularly known as Charly T, was said to have been in high spirits before the incident.
According to reports, he only went to take a nap but did not wake up.
A close associate disclosed that Idahosa had earlier attended the wedding ceremony of a daughter of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and also shared rice with the needy shortly before his passing.
Idahosa served as Commissioner for Information and Orientation under the administration of former Governor Chief Lucky Igbinedion.
He also served as Political Adviser to ex-Governor Adams Oshiomhole, was Chairman of Uhunmwonde Local Government Area, and later emerged as the governorship candidate of the defunct Democratic Peoples Party (DPP).
While there has been no official statement from the family, a family member described the death as shocking.
“Daddy was full of life this morning. As usual, he came downstairs to receive people. I don’t know what happened; it is shocking,” the family member said.
