Ifeanyi Ubah, Senator representing Anambra South district in the National Assembly, is dead.
Senator Ubah was said to have departed Nigeria for the UK, two days ago.
A close family source said he died in a UK hospital where he went for surgery.
He would have been 53 on September 3.
Ubah had defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) last year.
He was later re-elected into the 10th Senate under the YPP.
The late Senator was billed to seek APC’s ticket ahead of the Anambra State governorship election. A source claimed he made a monetary donation to Anambra APC two days ago.
The CEO of Capital Oil had survived an assassination attempt in September 2022.
His death comes just a few days after the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu passed on.
Histoky recalls in September 2022, Ubah, on his way to Nnewi, was ambushed by gunmen in Enugwu-Ukwu in Anambra State – his convoy was shot at; at least five persons, including two policemen, were killed.
Ubah survived the attack, reportedly shielded by the bulletproof vehicle he was riding on.
