A former Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ibrahim Ogohi, has died after a brief illness.
He died at the age of 75, having been born in November 1948.
Family sources said Ogohi had been bedridden for weeks due to old age-related sickness before he died in his Abuja home in the early hours of Sunday.
“Admiral Ibrahim Ogohi passed on to glory a few minutes ago, early Sunday morning,” a family source said.
