The news of his death came as a shock after brief ill health.

The Late Zubairu was the governor of Imo state during the uproar in owerri which led to the burning of
ALLEGED CON MEN AND RITUALISTS IN THE STATE.

Recall that the then Okotoko saga happened during his administration as the military administrator of Imo state 1996-1999.

The schedule of his Burial will soon be released by his family during which plans will be set to give him a memorial burial.

Colonel Tanko Zubairu was the Military Administrator of Imo State Nigeria from August 1996 until May 1999 when he handed over to the elected civilian governor Achike Udenwa.
