Maximus Uba is dead

MR. Maximus Uba has died. He died this morning in a car accident in Abuja along Kubwa/Gwarimpa Axis. According to a source, Mr. Maximus Uba was driving his wife to the Nigerian Law School where she works.

Then suddenly the “accident” happened. Uba was a one time Media Consultant to Anambra Politician, Chris Uba. He was Executive Secretary Imo Democratic Congress and Managing Editor, Weekend Mail Newspaper Abuja.

Uba was arrested by the Imo State Police Command on order of an Imo State Magistrate Court. Uba's arrest was not unconnected with his stoical criticisms of the Governor Ikedi Ohakim-led Government of Imo State.

Uba later reconciled with Governor Ohakim whom he described as "God favored," a situation which angered Ikenna Samuelson Iwuoha, one of Ohakim's die-hard enemy who was allegedly flogged by the Governor.
