The Nigerian Senate has confirmed the death of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who represented Anambra South in the red chamber.
Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, announced the news on Saturday but didn’t give details.
A source revealed that Ubah had travelled to the United Kingdom for a surgical procedure.
According to reports, Ubah passed away in a London hotel on Friday evening, just two days after arriving in the UK due to a health issue.
The 53-year-old senator’s death was reportedly caused by complications related to his recent tummy tuck surgery, which had resulted in significant weight loss.
Until his passing, Ubah was a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil.
He was first elected to the Senate in 2019 under the Young People’s Party (YPP) platform and re-elected in 2023 before defecting to the APC.
