Kogi State declares a three-day mourning period following the death of former governor Ibrahim Idris. Premium Times reports that the state government announces the three days of mourning, while other outlets describe the mourning as being observed across government and public institutions.
Kogi State Governor Ahmed Ododo is cited by The Punch and Daily Post as directing that the national flag and the Kogi State flag be flown at half-mast during the three-day period. The Punch also reports that Ododo extends condolences to Idris. Separately, The Punch says the Kogi State PDP declares a longer 40-day mourning period and constitutes an 11-man burial committee for the late ex-governor. The different figures and actions reflect separate roles by the state government, the governor’s office, and the state political party.
Overall, the reports converge on the death of Ibrahim Idris and the official mourning arrangements announced in Kogi, with variations in duration and additional party-led steps for burial planning.
