The family of Chief Dan Orbih confirms his death in a statement issued in Benin, according to Premium Times. The confirmation comes from Francis Orbih, who speaks on behalf of the family.

Following the family’s announcement, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also mourns Orbih. Daily Post Nigeria reports that the party posts a condolence message on its official page, signed by Ini Ememobong, the PDP National Publicity Secretary of the Interim National Working Committee. The PDP describes Orbih as its former National Vice Chairman for the South-South.

Across the reports, both outlets agree that Orbih’s death is confirmed through family and political-party statements. The coverage focuses on official reactions and the roles attributed to Orbih within the PDP, while neither outlet provides additional details on the circumstances of his death or the timeline beyond the public confirmations.
