A former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abdullahi Ibrahim, is dead.

He died at 82.

While some online media platforms said he died of COVID-19, a source close to the family said he died of heart complications.

Mr Ibrahim, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, who served as Minister of Transport and Aviation in the military regime of Muhammadu Buhari, is reported to have died in an isolation centre in Abuja on Sunday according to TODAYNG.

TODAYNG adds that a former top government official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak publicly on the matter ahead of the family, broke the news to journalists on Sunday.
