The house of two-time governor of the defunct Midwest and Bendel states, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia was yesterday thrown into mourning following the death of Mrs. Rose Nwankego-Ogbemudia, wife of Sam Ogbemudia Jr. at an Indian hospital.

Rose who is the wife of Dr. Ogbemudia’s first son, was said to have battled cancer for a very long time after she was diagnosed in a Nigerian hospital before she was transferred to India where she eventually died.

A member of the Ogbemudia family who confirmed the death of the Junior Ogbemuidia’s wife, added that her remains have since been flown back to Nigeria while burial arrangements are already in progress.
