Workers at the Delta State Secretariat in Asaba have reportedly shut down the complex following the death of a Deputy Director in the Ministry of Secondary Education, Mr Unity Ekpevbughe Adeda.
The Delta State Secretariat shutdown followed reports that Adeda died on Thursday, September 24, 2026, after an altercation. His death has since disrupted activities at the government complex.
Workers reportedly stopped normal activities and demanded answers about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The development has caused tension among staff at the secretariat. However, details about what led to the altercation remain unclear.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred before Adeda’s death. However, the circumstances surrounding the confrontation and the events that followed have not been independently established.
The exact cause of Adeda’s death has also not been independently confirmed.
As a result, claims about the incident should be treated with caution until authorities provide further information or an official account.
The Delta State Secretariat shutdown has affected activities within the complex as workers seek clarity over the death of the deputy director.
Adeda worked in the Ministry of Secondary Education. His death has therefore drawn attention among workers at the state secretariat.
Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether the state government or security agencies have issued a detailed statement on the incident.
Further official information could help establish what happened before the reported altercation, the circumstances surrounding Adeda’s death and why workers closed the secretariat.
Until such information becomes available, the cause of the death and the full circumstances of the reported confrontation remain unconfirmed.
