Former Miss Nigeria and wife of Olorogun Felix Ibru, Edna Ibru, has passed away.

Edna Ibru reportedly died 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, Edna Ibru was a mother of two.

Her death was confirmed by the Ibru family of Agbarha-Otor Kingdom in Delta State.

In a statement issued by her son, Dr. Paul Ibru, he announced:
“Our amazing mother passed into glory on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, after a brief illness.

“Until her death, she was full of life, and we never expected her to leave us so soon. However, 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, and full of stories all the time. We will miss her dearly.”

The family stated that burial arrangements will be announced later.
