In a related development, COVID-19 had also killed a former minister.

Onyxnews Nigeria reported earlier that 67-year-old former Libya’s interim Prime Minister, Mahmoud Jibril was killed by the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19).

This reliable online news platform understands that Jibril contracted the pandemic in Egypt in late March and died at a hospital in Cairo, Egypt.

The former minister ruled as head of the National Transitional Council during months of civil war in 2011 which led to the forceful out of former long-time ruler Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

Libya’s internationally known government in Tripoli gave its condolences in a statement, describing Jibril as a national figure.

Reputed to be an astute technocrat by those who worked with him, Jibril was Libya’s transitional prime minister for just seven months, and later formed his own political group known as the National Forces’ Alliance.

As a politician, late Jibril was seen by his supporters as a potential force for transforming the country but he was removed from political office by election laws that banned officials who had served in the transitional period from taking part in the country’s first parliamentary elections in 2012.
