Former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa made his first public appearance since his recent release from custody, joining Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori at a service of songs held in honor of Mrs. Victoria Ossai Obielum, mother of prominent politician Godwill Obielum.

Okowa was taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on November 4, 2024, over an alleged N1.3 trillion fraud but was released on Friday, with his passport reportedly seized as part of the conditions.

The well-attended service, held at Obielum’s residence in Asaba, Delta State’s capital, was also graced by the Delta State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Solomon Arenyenka, members of the party’s state executive, political dignitaries, and both active and retired senior security officers.

Pastor Ifeanyi Ogude of Heaven Bound Christian International Church Ministry delivered the sermon, urging attendees to live meaningful lives in service to God and humanity. He reminded the audience, “Nobody knows when death will come, and as such, people should be prepared by living a good life and leaving worthy legacies, as they will be remembered for what they did.”

Mrs. Obielum, who passed away at age 87 on June 20, 2024, will be laid to rest on November 16, 2024, at Obielum’s residence in Ushie, Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta State.
