Nigeria’s former chief of defence staff, Ibrahim Ogohi, has died.
According to his family, Ogohi died on Sunday morning in Abuja.
Prayer session will be held later today at the national mosque in the federal capital territory (FCT) before his burial. His family plans to travel to Okura-Lafia, his hometown in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State, for the final rites.
Ogohi served as the chief of defence staff from 1999 to 2003, marking significant milestones in Nigerian military history. He was the first naval officer to attain a four-star rank and the first to become the chief of defence staff from the navy.
