Ex-Imo Deputy Governor, Dr Douglas Acholonu
A one-time deputy governor of Imo State, Dr. Douglas Acholonu has been rumoured dead. Though, the information to this effect looks sketchy but the former governor had been sick for about a month or so.
Acholonu who is popularly called 'Action' since his days he served the State as deputy governor had maintained a low-key posture as he was regularly seen at the popular Rockview hotel where he usually interacted with the public on private level.
He was the deputy governor under the administration of the late Evan Enwerem's 18 months civilian administration, under the regime of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd.), in 1992 - 93.
Though the royal family of Acholonu in Orlu, Imo State or Imo State Government, is yet to issue a statement as at press time, a dependable source told revealed that the medical doctor died on Sunday at a hospital in Mgbirichi, near Owerri, Imo State.
The source could not give details of his medical conditions before his demise, but disclosed that the deceased had had a neuro surgery some years ago. (TDP News, excluding headline)
