The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland and Vice Chairman of Kogi state traditional council, Dr Ado Ibrahim, is dead.

According to reports, the 94-year-old paramount king of Ebiraland passed away in the early hours of Sunday.

It is reported that he passed away in a hospital in Abuja while undergoing treatment for an age-related illness.

Before ascending the throne, he was a successful businessman who lived most parts of his life in Lagos.

The late first-class monarch will be buried later this Sunday in Okene, in line with Islamic customs, as everyone waits for a formal statement from the Ohinoyi Palace and Kogi State administration.
