A former Nigerian Senator, Francis Arthur Nzeribe, has died. He was 83years old.
Nzeribe was said to have died on Sunday morning , in a foreign hospital from an undisclosed illness.
Nzeribe was elected to the Senate to represent Orlu in 1999, but in November 2002, the then-Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim suspended him indefinitely over N22 million fraud allegation.
Furthermore, in April 2006, the Orlu People’s Consultative Assembly, led by then Imo State Governor Achike Udenwa, organized a “One Million March” to rally support for Nzeribe’s recall from the Senate.
Nzeribe was defeated by Osita Izunaso in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primaries for the 2007 Senatorial election in December 2006 due to popular demand.
