Founder of Moni-Pulo indigenous oil company, Olu Lulu-Briggs, has passed on at 91.
The philanthropist died on Friday, the same day Nigeria’s former President Shehu Shagari passed on.
Mr Lulu-Briggs hailed from Abonnema-Kalabari, headquarters of Akuku-Toru local government area of Rivers State.
An indigene of Abonnema, who confirmed the death in confidence, said the official announcement would later be made by Abonnema Council of Chiefs.
The deceased, who was a regent of Abonnema, was the father of oil magnate, Dumo Lulu-Briggs.
Dumo is the governorship candidate of Accord Party in Rivers state.
Top officials of Moni-Pulo oil firm, who were contacted for details of the death, especially if he passed on in Nigeria or overseas, declined to comment.
