Popular oil mogul and politician, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah representing Anambra South Senatorial District has reportedly passed away.

The Anambra Senator was said to have died in London on Saturday. He had traveled to London two days prior.

Ubah, who joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) a few months ago, was planning to seek the party’s ticket for the Anambra State governorship election.

Ubah was a Nigerian politician, entrepreneur, and businessman who until his death served as the CEO of Capital Oil (CCO), which he founded in 2001.

The deceased was married to Uchenna, a Business Administration graduate from Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria, with whom he had five children. He also ran a foundation named after himself, Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation.

In September 2022, Ubah survived an assassination attempt when he was attacked by gunmen on his way to Nnewi in Enugwu-Ukwu in Anambra State. His convoy was shot at, and at least five persons, including two policemen, were killed.

He survived as the vehicle he was riding in was bulletproof.
