Two time Military Governor, Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu (retd.), has died at the age of 77.
The deceased was military administrator of Lagos and Imo States.
The cause of death had not been ascertained as at the time of writing this report but Kanu’s associate and ally, Mrs Joe Okei-Odumakin, confirmed his death on Wednesday.
“I can confirm that he has passed on. This is very sad news. A statement will be issued soon,” she said.
Kanu, who was appointed into the Supreme Military Council headed by the late Head of State, Gen. Murtala Muhammed in 1975, later became a human rights activist after leaving the military.
He joined the pro-democracy movement, NADECO, and played a leading role in the agitation for the actualisation of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election.
