How Nigerian Ambassador to the US Died

Nigerian Ambassador to the United States, Prof. Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye reportedly died on Thursday after suffering a seizure while being driven by his chauffeur in Washington D.C. According to Sources, the Ambassador gave up the ghost before he could get to the hospital.

Adefuye, was reportedly among several other Nigerian envoys recalled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was expected to handover to the Consular General this month, pending the appointment of his replacement.

One of his last major assignments was to receive President Muhammadu Buhari and his delegation during the president’s three-day official visit to the U.S. last month.

Embassy officials, who confirmed his demise, said a send off reception was planned for him next Wednesday, but will now be turned to a memorial service.
