Ex-Miss Nigeria, Edna Ibru is dead 

Edna Ibru, Miss Nigeria 1964 and wife of Olorogun Felix Ibru, the first civilian Governor of Delta State, is dead.

Edna passed away in her 80s on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, in a London hospital after a brief illness.

The first Nigerian and African to represent the country at the Miss Universe pageant, she was a mother of two.

The Ibru family of Agbarha-Otor Kingdom in Delta State confirmed her death in a statement issued by her son, Dr. Paul Ibru, and made available to journalists on Saturday.

“Our amazing mother passed into glory on Wednesday 15, January 2025 after a brief illness,” the statement read. “Until her death, she was full of life and we never expected her to leave us so soon but we cannot question the will of God in her precious life.

“She was a lover of people, a mediator, a mother to many, outrageously humorous, deeply caring, down to earth, full of stories all of the time, and we will miss her very dearly.”

The family stated that burial arrangements will be announced later.
