Former Senator, Francis Arthur Nzeribe has passed on.

Nzeribe died at the age of 83 on Sunday morning.

The former lawmaker died of an undisclosed ailment at a foreign hospital.

“He died this morning (Sunday) in a hospital abroad. The family will soon release a statement,” a family source told Sahara Reporters.
