Bayelsa Chief Judge’s son dies in swimming pool

Mr. Wariebi Abiri, son of Justice Kate Abiri, the Chief Judge of Bayelsa State, has died under circumstances described as mysterious.

A Law graduate and student of the Nigerian Law School, Abuja, Abiri reportedly died in a swimming pool last Friday night in the Federal capital.

The Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, however, yesterday expressed deep shock over the untimely death of the young man.

A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said Dickson had also called on the authorities to immediately probe the death.

The governor made the call during a condolence visit to the chief judge at her residence in Yenagoa, the state capital.
