The group expressed shock at the news of Nunieh’s demise, whom they claimed was a Second Republic senator and lawyer.

“We express our sympathy to the bereaved family, Ogoni ethnic nationality and Rivers state . We pray that almighty God will grant the soul of the departed eternal repose and comfort those in pain,“it added
Senator Nunieh got married to his younger wife, Rosemary Ijeoma, in October 2017. In an interview with The PUNCH, he said, “I cannot continue to stay alone. I love her and she loves me. We understand each other and she is also intelligent.”
“There is no limitation in age. Some may say you are old; you may soon die. But some were dead even before they were born. Some were one year or two years old and they die. Death is not always dependent upon a man’s age,” he said.
