Former Chief of Defence Staff, Vice Admiral Ibrahim Ogohi, has passed away.
Family sources told newsmen that Admiral Ogohi died on Sunday after a brief illness.
Ogohi served as Chief of Defence Staff from 1999 to 2003, having been appointed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He succeeded Air Marshal Al-Ameen Daggash following the handover of power to civilians.
Ogohi retired as a four-star general in the Nigerian Navy in 2003 and was succeeded by General Alexander Ogomudia.
