The President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, George Obiozor dies from heart related illness, according to reports.
A highly placed chieftain of Ohanaeze confirmed to pressmen that Obiozor died on Monday, December 26th, from heart-related disease.
He, however, said the apex Igbo body would not announce Obiozor’s death until his family makes the announcement.
The man is dead but it’s not in our tradition to announce such death even when we have such information, we allow the family members to make such an announcement.
“He died on Monday of heart-related disease. I’m not specific about where he died but he travelled abroad and returned to Lagos.
“I was called in the early hours of December 26th that he died in the early hours,” the source said.
There have been reports and speculations that Obiozor was dead.
Yesterday, the apex Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide had refuted reports insinuating the death of its President-General.
Amid these speculations, the family is yet to announce Obiozor’s death.
