The wife of the Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Mrs Ifeoma Ada Kalu, has died at the age of 61.
Senator Kalu, a former governor of Abia State, disclosed this on his verified Facebook page on Monday.
He described the deceased as a ‘woman of virtue’ who was committed to the service of God and humanity, adding that a memorial service in her honour will hold in the United States of America (USA) where she breathed her last.
He, however, did not give details as to when and how Mrs Kalu died including the burial arrangements.
