Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, representing Anambra South in the National Assembly, has passed away. The former Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil died in a hotel in London, United Kingdom, on Saturday. He would have turned 53 on September 3.
Senate spokesperson Yemi Adaramodu confirmed Ubah’s death, stating, “It’s confirmed, but I am sending an official statement soon.”
Ubah, who was re-elected into the 10th Senate under the Young Peoples Party, defected to the All Progressive Congress last year. In September 2022, he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt when gunmen attacked his convoy en route to Nnewi in Enugwu-Ukwu, Anambra State. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least five individuals, including two policemen, but Ubah survived thanks to his bulletproof vehicle.
His sudden passing marks a significant loss for his constituency and the nation.
