A graduate of Mass Communication from Delta State University, Abraka, the late Kotor hailed from Okwagbe in Ughievwen Kingdom, Ughelli South Local Government Area.
His sudden death has thrown family members, colleagues, and associates into mourning, with many describing it as shocking and devastating, given his longstanding service and vibrant presence at public events.
