Ofunne said he was shocked when he heard about the sad incident, describing Utomi as a man full of life.

Utomi is a native of Ubulu-Uku in Aniocha South Local Government Area of the state and one of the commissioners appointed in the last lap of the first tenure of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa owing to a minor cabinet shake up.

He was a one time council chairman for Aniocha South LGA.
