Ex-Miss Nigeria and former First Lady of Delta State, Mrs Edna Ibru (nee Park), is dead.
Ibru, wife of Olorogun Felix Ibru, the first executive Governor of Delta State, who was Miss Nigeria 1964, and the first Nigerian/African to represent Nigeria at Miss Universe, died in London after a brief illness.
The news of her death was contained in a statement issued by her son, Dr Paul Ibru, copies of which were made available to journalists in Warri, Delta State on Saturday.
“Our amazing mother passed into glory on Wednesday 15, January 2025 after a brief illness.
“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”, the statement revealed.
PUNCH Online gathered that burial arrangements would be announced later by the family.
