According to reports, Ibru, who was also the first Nigerian/African to represent Nigeria at Miss Universe, died in her 80s on Wednesday, in a London hospital after a brief illness.

Ibru, wife of Olorogun Felix Ibru, the first civilian Governor of Delta State between 1991 and 1992, had two children.

 

While confirming the incident in a statement issued by her son, Dr Paul Ibru, copies of which were made available to journalists in Warri on Saturday, the Ibru family of Agbarha-Otor Kingdom in Delta State said she died after a brief illness.

“Our amazing mother passed into glory on Wednesday 15, January 2025 after a brief illness”, the statement partly read.

 

“Until her death, she was full of life and we never expected her to leave us so soon but we cannot question the will of God in her precious life.

“She was a lover of people, a mediator, a mother to many, outrageously humorous, deeply caring, down to earth, full of stories all of the time, and we will miss her very dearly.”

Paul added that arrangements for her burial would be announced by the family later.

This online news platform gathered that condolences have been pouring in for the family since the announcement of her death.
