According to family sources, Dr. Ojougboh passed away on Wednesday evening, February 7, while watching the highly anticipated AFCON 2023 semi-final match between Nigeria and South Africa.

“As soon as a penalty kick was awarded against Nigeria during the AFCON match with South Africa on Wednesday’s semi-final clash in Bouake, Ivory Coast, he slumped.”
May his soul rest in peace, Amen.
