Oshiomole dead?

I've just heard that Adams Oshiomole, the newly installed governor of Edo State, is dead. Its too early to say how (the news is spreading via mobile phone, ahead of the media). If its not some kind of sick April Fool joke then what an utter tragedy - here was a progressive intellectual on a mission to transform a state plagued by misrule for years. Nigeria takes a step backwards with his passing...

Follow up - the phone calls were misinformed. Its the missing Commissioner for Information who has been found dead. Read here.
