Former Senator, Francis Arthur Nzeribe has passed away.
His family announced his passing on Sunday. He was 83.
Nzeribe died of an undisclosed ailment at a foreign hospital Sunday morning.
“He died this morning in a hospital abroad. The family will soon release a statement,” a family source told Sahara Reporters.
Nzeribe was elected a Senator to represent Orlu in 1999.
He also served as senator in the second republic before the military took over.
In November 2002, a former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, suspended Nzeribe indefinitely over an allegation of N22 million fraud.
Nzeribe was said to be planning an impeachment motion against Anyim.
