The commissioner therefore advised the family to bear the irreparable loss.

He explained further that Late Mr Richard Oko-Jaja gave his son, Iyerifama all the needed supports in his service to the Ijaw action.
According to him, “the IYC sympathises with the Iyerifgama family, Opobo Kingdom and the entire Ijaw land on the death of this great son of Ijaw nation, pointing out that the IYC would strive to promote the unity and progress of the Ijaw nation which he said, Mr Jaja stood for.
The IYC boss therefore enjoined the family, Opobo kingdom and the Ijaw nation to take solace in the fact that on the resurrection morning when all shall appear before Christ, Mr Richard Oko-Jaja would be found among the saints.
