LOKOJA, Kogi State

Former Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, has reportedly died in the United Kingdom, according to reports currently circulating.

As of the time of filing this report, however, there has been no official confirmation of the reported death from the family, the Kogi State Government or another authoritative source.

The circumstances surrounding the reported death, including the date and cause, could not immediately be independently verified.

Ibrahim Idris, who is from Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State, served as Governor of the state on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from May 2003 to February 2008 and again from April 2008 until January 2012. Historical records describe him as one of Kogi’s longest-serving governors.

His first tenure was interrupted in February 2008 following a court decision that nullified his 2007 re-election. He subsequently returned to office after the March 2008 rerun election.

Idris has remained a prominent figure in Kogi politics since leaving office, with his political family continuing to feature in the state’s political affairs.

Further details concerning the latest report about the former governor’s death are expected as family members, government authorities or other credible sources respond.
