Mugabe: Former Zimbabwe Chief Of Staff, Mugoba Is Dead

Following the death of the longest-serving President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, the former National Army Chief of State, Major General Trust Mugoba has been declared dead.

Mugoba’s death was confirmed a few hours after the death of former President of Zimbabwe, Mugabe.

Naija News had earlier reported that Mugabe died at the age of 95 on Friday morning.

Zimbabwe spokesman, Nick Mangwana, while speaking to ZimLive, confirmed his death.

He said, “Mugoba passed away early this morning at a private hospital in Harare a week after he was admitted with an undisclosed ailment.”

Mugoba left his post in March 2017 after he was seconded to the African Union where he assumed the position of Chief of Staff of the continental’s body’s Stand-by Force.

Months after Mugoba’s departure, Zimbabwe’s military moved against a longtime ruler, Robert Mugabe, ousting him in a coup in November 2017.
