Ewrhudjakpor Family Announces Mourning Details For Late Bayelsa Deputy Governor

The immediate family of the late Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewrhudjakpor, has issued a formal announcement regarding mourning activities following the untimely passing of the beloved public servant.

In a statement signed by Mr. Francis Ewrhudjakpor, the family has designated the late Deputy Governor’s country home in Ofoni as the official site for condolence visits and mourning activities beginning Monday, December 15, 2025.

The family requests that associates, friends, and members of the public take note of this arrangement as they come to pay their respects to the former Deputy Governor.

The announcement comes in the wake of the family’s recent decision to arrange for an autopsy to be conducted, the results of which are expected to be communicated to the family before broader public disclosure.

“The loss of our beloved Lawrence has been profoundly felt, and we appreciate the overwhelming show of sympathy, solidarity, and condolences from the community,” stated Francis Ewrhudjakpor in the announcement.

“We humbly request continued prayers for the peaceful repose of his soul and for the strength and fortitude of the family to bear this irreparable loss.”

Senator Lawrence Ewrhudjakpor served his community with distinction, holding various leadership roles, most notably as Deputy Governor.

His contributions to the region and beyond have left a lasting legacy that will not be forgotten.

The family invites all who knew him to join them in honouring his memory during this time of mourning, with further details regarding memorial services to be announced in due course.
