News just filtered in this morning that Mr Oronto Douglas, a top presidential aide and confidant of President Goodluck Jonathan, has died. Mr. Douglas died early this morning at the State House Clinic, a close family source has revealed.
The source said Mr. Douglas died from cancer-related complications.


Mr. Douglas came to national and international prominence as an environmental activist on behalf of the oil-producing communities of the Niger Delta. A lawyer by profession, the deceased was born in 1966.

 Oronto Douglas was Ken Saro-Wiwa's Lawyer during his trial in 1995. He was a fighter and orator.

 Mr. Douglas had been sick for several years. Even so, associates of President Jonathan said he continued to work over the last few weeks for Mr. Jonathan’s reelection, with one source saying he was devastated when his principal lost the presidential polls.

 Mr. Douglas is survived by a wife and children.
