The wife of the former governor of Akwa Ibom state, Allison Attah has died.

Mrs Attah, originally from Barbados, died in a Lagos hospital at about 3:30 p.m. on Monday after she lost a six-year long battle to a terminal kidney condition that left her depending on regular dialysis.


Family sources said that the burial is likely to take place within the next two weeks, in line with Roman Catholic doctrine.

Mrs Attah, a mother of two, was a graduate of Leeds University, UK, where she qualified as a Librarian.

May her soul rest in peace.
