The sad news of his death this afternoon resonated like murderous shrieks of a mad mob hounding its prey to sad death. Felix Ovudoroye Ibru is dead. Felix had been battling hard to save his life from the jaws of untimely death. Felix’s health, like his older brother, Mike Ibru, had been at its lowest ebb for sometime.
Though so many reasons have been adduced to the cause of the ailment, the general consensus is that it had to do with pneumonia. Felix was President General of the Urhobo Progressive Union (UPU). As a traditional chieftain of his homeland, Ibru bore the tribal honorific Olorogun and often used it as a pre-nominal style.
