THE family of billionaire businessman, Capt. Hosa Okunbo, has debunked the rumour of his death, saying he is alive, hale and hearty.
The family, in a statement signed by Dr Tinyan Okunbo, described the death rumour as wicked, and warned rumour mongers to desist or face the wrath of God.
The statement noted that Hosa Okunbo, Chairman, Ocean Marine Solutions Limited, travelled to the United Kingdom on routine medical checkup.
It said, “We hereby condemn the rumour that originated from the pit of hell. We state unequivocally that Capt. Hosa Okunbo is well, hale and hearty. God will judge the persons who take delight in peddling fatal wishes on the innocent.
“We take solace in the fact that similar rumours in the past were spread of great men who had always proved the evil intentions of the wicked hearts wrong and invariably lived beyond their expectations.
“Nigerians have not forgotten the case of a former Nigeria’s President, Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, from whose case we now draw inspiration that Capt. Hosa Okunbo will live to the fullness of his age and beyond, in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
