Nigerian Senator who represents Anambra South, and an All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, is dead.
Ubah died in a hotel in London, the United Kingdom. He had left for London two days ago after he started having health crisis. He reportedly died on Friday evening.
His death was reportedly caused by complications related to his recent tummy tuck surgery, which resulted in a reduction in his weight.
Ubah was a Nigerian Politician, entrepreneur and businessman who until his death served as the CEO of Capital Oil (CCO), which he founded in 2001.
The deceased was married to Uchenna, a Business Administration graduate from Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria, with whom he had 5 children. He also ran a foundation which is named after himself; Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation.
In September 2022, Ubah escaped assassination when he was attacked by gunmen on his way to Nnewi in Enugwu-Ukwu in Anambra State. His convoy was shot at and at least 5 persons, including two policemen, were killed.
He survived as the vehicle he was riding in was bulletproof.
He was elected on the platform of Young Progressive Party, YPP for two terms but recently defected to All Progressives Congress, APC.
