Dr. Paul Aidido Ibru, in a statement, said: “Our amazing mother, Mrs. Edna Ibru, passed into glory on Wednesday 15 January, 2025 after a brief illness.
“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”.
