The late Fubara was appointed a Commissioner in the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, by Governor Nyesom Wike.

It was gathered that the assassins, who stormed his Odili Road residence in Port Harcourt, first killed his second with a rod and then went for the father, clubbing him till he fell unconscious.

Thinking that he had passed on, the assassins fled.  Dr Fubara according to reports gave up the ghost on Sunday at a hospital in Port Harcourt and his remains deposited in a morgue.
He was a senior lecturer at the Ignatius Ajuru University, Rivers State.
