“The Clark-Fuludu Bekederemo family of Kiagbodo Town, Delta State, wishes to announce the passing of Chief (Dr.) Sen. Edwin Kiagbodo Clark OFR, CON on Monday 17th February, 2025.”

“Born in Kiagbodo, in the Ijaw area of what is now Delta State, Clark attended primary and secondary schools at Effurun, Okrika, and Afugbene before completing further studies at the Government Teacher Training College, which later became Delta State University, Abraka.
