“Yes, my father, Col Emma Nworah Nwobosi, is dead. He died today (Tuesday) after a brief illness, reasonably associated with old age. Meanwhile, my family will make a formal announcement for his burial on a later date,” said Emmanuel Nwobosi (Jnr), a Senior Special Assistant in Governor Willie Obiano’s cabinet.
