Senator Ifeanyi Ubah dies in London

Senator representing Anambra South, Ifeanyi Ubah died while on a medical trip to the UK.

Ubah, a prominent business figure from the southeast region is also the Chief Executive of Capital Oil, which he founded in 2001.

Senator Ubah, a staunch supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), reportedly died at a London hotel where he had arrived just two days earlier.

News of his death was confirmed via a group chat of senators, who have begun paying tribute to their late colleague. The Senate and his family have yet to comment officially on the incident.
