Air Commodore (retired) Ibrahim Kefas (27 January 1948 – 1 October 2021) served as military administrator of Cross River State in Nigeria between December 1993 and September 1994, and then of Delta State until August 1996 during the military regime of General Sani Abacha.[2]
As a group captain, Kefas was appointed governor of Delta State on 26 September 1994.[3]
While governor of Delta State, he sacked professor Frank Mene Adedemiswanye Ukoli, Vice-Chancellor of Delta State University for political reasons, an incident recorded in Ukoli's book A state university is born: throes of birth, ordeals of growth.[4][5]
In March 2002, as Taraba State Chairman of People's Democratic Party, Kefas and other party politicians were attacked by over 200 youths who invaded a party rally, and narrowly escaped death.[6]
Kefas was nominated as National Democratic Party candidate for governor in the 2007 elections in Taraba State.[7] The winner was the People's Democratic Party candidate, Danbaba Suntai.[8]
Kefas died in the early hours of 1 October 2021, in a hospital in Abuja.[9]
