Ojougbo who represented the Ika federal constituency of Delta State died on Wednesday night while watching the semi final match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and South Africa.
A reliable source said Ojougbo died when the referee awarded a penalty kick against Nigeria at the dying minute of the game.
The source said: “As soon as a penalty kick was awarded against Nigeria during the AFCON match with South Africa on Wednesday’s semi-final clash in Bouake, Ivory Coast, he slumped, and died.”
