Anthony, please don’t write things you don’t know and don’t say bad things about people you don’t know. Bede can never have HIV. He lived a very decent life. He was never into women. He was too close to God. He was a great Icon & Nigeria really lost a great man that would have helped shape the nation. Farewell Dr Bede.
What a waste….God forgive him
thorough investigation should be made to ascertain the caused if his death, if possible autopsy should be done. it might be homicide!

Bede Opata: can not take his life. He had so many things to live for. He was hardworking. He was among the best during our law school days. He is too soft to harm anyone, so how can he harm himself?
