His death was reportedly confirmed by Friday Okpechi, his colleague representing Obubra constituency 1, in the afternoon of Sunday, August 26.
The report said the late Nkoro was a two term lawmaker.
In May, 2018, the state had lost Stephen Ukpukpen, who represented Obodu constituency.
Ukpukpen was the chairman of the public accounts committee of the Assembly.
