The untimely death of Shimite Bello, Special Adviser to the Governor of Delta State on Trade and Export, has sent shockwaves across the state and beyond. According to reports, Bello’s death is linked to alleged domestic violence at the hands of her husband, Pastor David Favour Love. Bello, known for her remarkable achievements and contributions to the state’s development, was a high achiever in her own right. She was the Coordinator of the Delta State UNIDO Centre, focal person for the implementation of the Federal Government’s Social Investment Programme in Delta State, and producer/presenter of ‘African Pot’, a TV documentary promoting traditional African cuisine, tourism, and culture. A colleague and human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, confirmed Bello’s passing on Facebook. Another human rights activist, Victor Ojie, wrote, “Marriage is not by force oh. It’s better to lose your marriage than to lose your life oh.” A social media user, Oge Okonkwo, reported that Bello’s husband had been arrested by the police following her passing. Bello’s aide, Tameta Sunday, also alleged that she was killed by her husband, writing, “It’s very difficult to type RIP boss, knowing fully well an ugly soul called pastor with a gentle look as a husband cut all the positive plans we had together.” A new report sheds light on the circumstances surrounding Bello’s death, with speculation surrounding her husband’s involvement in poisoning her. Kiki Modiri, a prominent X user, has accused Bello’s husband of isolating her from her family for a year, theft, and misappropriating her assets. Bello’s death has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for justice to be served. Her legacy as a powerful voice for innovation, youth empowerment, and girl-child advocacy will live on, and her memory will not be forgotten.
