Grace Onaiwu Omoigui, the mother of a former Chairman of the Federal
Inland Revenue Service, Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru, has been confirmed dead.
The family, in a statement
on Saturday, said that the 82-year-old died from multiple gunshot
injuries sustained in an armed robbery attack in Benin City on her way
from Guaranty Trust Bank, Sapele Road branch.
”Mama G, as she loved to be called, fought a gallant fight to live but
the Lord decided that her time on this earth was done,” the eldest child
of the deceased, Dr. Nowamagbe Omoigui, said in the statement.
“She leaves behind a legacy of love to one’s neighbour regardless of
cost and personal sacrifice. Even in the face of unprovoked attack, she
did what she does best: rightly question the indefensible actions of the
armed robbers as she felt it was wrong.”
