The circumstances surrounding the death of a couple, in Warri, Delta State, have become a source of worry for the police and residents of the city.
The couple, Pa Joe Ayomike, an emeritus director of the Warri Choral Society (WCS), and his wife, Chinyere, were found dead at their residence in Warri GRA.
The deceased husband and wife were notable lovers of classical music in Nigeria.
The late WCS director was younger brother to former chairman of the Itsekiri Leaders of Thoughts and historian, late Pa Johnson Oritsegbubemi Sunday Ayomike, while Chi-Chi, as his wife was fondly known, was a senior lecturer at the Delta State University, Abraka.
He was the founder of the WCS in 1992 and organised a two-hour classical music concert, conducted by his wife, from time to time.
