The Senator representing Anambra South in the National Assembly, Ifeanyi Ubah, has passed away.
The politician and businessman died in the United Kingdom. Ubah had traveled from Nigeria to the UK two days ago.
According to sources, he died in a UK hospital where he was undergoing an operation.
It is worth noting that Ubah switched from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) last year.
Additionally, Ubah, the CEO of Capital Oil, survived an assassination attempt in September 2022.
In that attack, which occurred in Enugwu Ukwu, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, three of his police escorts were among those killed.
How Ifeanyi Ubah died
Senator Ubah died during an operation in London, a source close to the lawmaker, has said.
“Yes, he is dead,” the source, who is a friend of the legislator, confirmed.
“We are waiting for the family to issue a statement. We spoke to him three times yesterday, before he went into the theatre for the operation.”
