The family of Rita Anuku, the 1986 Miss
Nigeria, has released a statement that the beauty queen passed away yesterday morning, July 2nd at an undisclosed Abuja
hospital.
According to a family source, the beauty queen has been battling with cancer for the past two years and gave up the ghost yesterday morning.
Late Rita Anuku was a first cousin of Hon.
David Anuku, former commissioner of Special Duties in Delta State and younger
sister of Nollywood actor, Hank Anuku. She is survived by four children, three
girls and a boy.
Twenty five years ago she was sensationally
crowned as Nigeria’s queen of beauty as an 18-year old secondary school leaver.
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
