A former member of the House of Representatives, Dr Cairo Ojougboh, is dead.

The APC’s chieftain, who represented Ika federal constituency of Delta State, reportedly died on Wednesday night, February 7, while watching the AFCON 2023 semi-final match between Nigeria and South Africa.

“As soon as a penalty kick was awarded against Nigeria during the AFCON match with South Africa on Wednesday’s semi-final clash in Bouake, Ivory Coast, he slumped,” a source privy to the incident told newsmen on Thursday.
