BREAKING NEWS .... TRAGEDY : Ijaw National Congress Leader, Tari Sekibo Slumps To Death In Yenagoa ... May His Soul Rest In Peace ... SaharaReporters


The President of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Tari Sekibo, slumped and died today in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, a source close to his family confirmed to SaharaReporters.
The source disclosed that Mr. Sekibo, a former senator, was rushed to the Federal Medical Center where efforts to save his life proved futile.
Mr. Sekibo was elected to the position of Ijaw National Congress leader in a hotly contested election in March 2013.

Reacting to his sudden death, Williams Mkpa, a member of the INC Executive, told SaharaReporters by telephone that the demise of the group’s president was a rude shock.

“This is a sad, and indeed the saddest, thing that has befallen the Ijaw Nation in [the] recent past. And at a time we are working tirelessly to reposition the INC for the tasks ahead in the coming years,” Mr. Mkpa said.

He added that the group had scheduled a meeting today before the sad news came in.
