Tears and prayers have continued to trail the condition of the Peremambiri King, popular known as Progress Never Die, who is struggling for his life at a hospital in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital.

Never Die was shot on Saturday by APC thugs, January 9, during the supplementary election in Bayelsa state when some ex-militants invaded the Peremambiri community, located in Southern Ijaw local government area.


In a recent visit to the hospital (name withheld for security reason), it was gathered that Peter Ogunyanwo, the Bayelsa state police commissioner struggled to hold his emotions as he was almost moved to tears on seeing Never Die.

Premium Times reports that Ogunyanwo removed his beret and prayed fervently for the monarch.

It was gathered that just before the monarch was wheeled into the theatre for a major operation, Ogunyawo removed his cap, held the monarch on the arm and prayed for about three minutes.

The commissioner of police however advised politicians in the country to embrace peace in their quest for power.

The Peremambiri King, Progress Neverdie was said to have sustained bullet wounds during a clash that ensued between his supporters and that of a popular youth leader named Eris Paul popularly known as Ogunbos.

Large News Live reporter in Bayelsa sighted the monarch being conveyed in an ambulance to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
