Olorogun Michael Ibru dies at 86


Michael Ibru (1930-September 6, 2016) was a prominent Nigerian businessman from Agbarha-Otor, Delta State. He was the head of the Ibru Organization, one of the largest conglomerates in Nigeria. As a traditional chieftain of his homeland, Ibru bore the tribal honorific Olorogun and often used it as a pre-nominal style. This title is also borne by many of the members of his large family in the same way.

Olorogun Michael Ibru, on Tuesday finally succumbed to the cold hands of death after years of battling with an undisclosed ailment.

The deceased, who celebrated his 85th birthday in January, was born to the family of Chief Peter Epete and Mrs. Janet Omotogor Ibru, a missionary, who  also worked at Igbobi Orthopaedic Hospital, Lagos.

Like his brothers, the Agbarha-Otor, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State indigene attended Igbobi College, and acquired a school certificate in 1951.
