The circumstances surrounding his death suggest that he was assassinated but this is yet to be confirmed by the police.
Atsuwete had a legal relationship with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State and, before his death, defended some members of the party.
The late lawyer defended Ojukaye Flag-Amachree, an ally of former Rivers Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, when he was facing charges for the alleged murder of one Smart Soberekon.
