Just in: Ex-Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff Ibrahim Ogohi dies at 75
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.
The late Admiral was Chief of Defence Staff between 1999 and 2003.
He was the first Naval officer to reach four star rank in the Nigerian military, including being the first chief of Defence Staff from Navy.
The late chief of Defence Staff hailed from Okura, Lafia in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State.
