Ex-Defence Chief, Ogohi Passes on at 76

The Nigeria’s former Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ibrahim Ogohi, passed away at the age of 76, the Military High Command stated.

Admiral Ogohi, a Kogi-born naval officer, made history as the first naval officer to become Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of Nigeria, serving from 1999 to 2003. He was also the first Naval Officer to reach four-star rank in the Nigerian military during a civilian administration.

According to a statement by the Nigerian Defence Headquarters, “The Nigerian military has lost a seasoned and decorated officer, who served the nation with distinction. Admiral Ogohi’s contributions to the development of the Nigerian military are immeasurable.”

Speaking on his legacy, a fellow officer said, “Admiral Ogohi was a true patriot and a dedicated officer, who served his country with honour and integrity. His leadership and vision transformed the Nigerian military, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations.”

Admiral Ogohi’s illustrious career spanned several decades, with notable appointments, including Commanding Officer of NNS France, Director of Administration at the Nigerian Defence Academy, and Commandant of the National War College.

The Nigerian government has expressed condolences to the family of the late Admiral, saying, “We mourn the loss of a great son of Nigeria, who served his country with distinction. May his soul rest in peace.”

Funeral arrangements are yet to be announced.
