His death as announced on Radio Nigeria, Harvest FM located in Makurdi occurred in Jos, the Plateau State capital where he was taken to for medical attention.
His family is yet to comment.
But a source from Government House, Makurdi said the commissioner died from complications of surgery for a yet-to-be ascertained ailment in an undisclosed hospital.
The source added that Ikwulono had attended the last week’s State Executive Council meeting before he went for the surgery that claimed his life. (Daily Trust)
